The Montreal "Rebbetzin": Portraits in Time
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the cultural and religious lives of Montreal's rabbinical wives (or "rebbetzin", the Yiddish word for a rabbi's wife) between 1847 and 1945. The author attempts to put forward and reclaim the stories of these wives through examining Montreal's early cultural and religious life. She points out that by exploring various documents and papers written between 1847 through to the end of the Second World War and the beginnings of the "exodus to the suburbs" (c.1950), several of these wives of rabbis past become more than their husband’s last name. Her survey of the "known" lives of past Montreal rebbetzins illustrates some of the "problematics" involved in obtaining basic historical data on women in general and on the wives of rabbis in particular.
