History / Biographical
Yudel Rosenberg was born in Poland in the town of Skaryszew, near Radom. He received a traditional Hasidic education in both rabbinic literature and Kabbalah. He was also exposed to secular learning both through the Hebrew works of the nineteenth century modernist movement known as the "Haskalah" Enlightenment, and through his mastery of the Russian language which he studied in order to obtain governmental permission to function as a rabbi. It is noteworthy that, unlike many Eastern European Jews with a similar background who were exposed to secular thought, Rosenberg remained loyal to the Orthodox tradition. Rosenberg received rabbinic ordination, and after a couple of failed attempts at business, functioned as a rabbi in the town of Tarlau and in the cities of Lublin, Warsaw and Lodz. He emigrated to Canada in 1913, at the invitation of a congregation of Polish Jews in Toronto. In 1919, he moved to Montreal, where he served as rabbi until his death. During the last thirty years of his life, Rosenberg wrote prolifically, in both Hebrew and Yiddish, on a wide variety of subjects. For a scholarly audience, he wrote a supercommentary on the talmudic tractate, Nedarim. He wrote respopnsa to legal questions, a volume of homilies on the Pentateuch, and a short-lived Rabbinic journal. He also wrote and edited a number of liturgical and Halachic works meant to be read by a popular audience. Notably, he wrote a series of stories concerning Rabbi Judah Loewe of Prague, most prominent of which was his account of Rabbi Loewe and the Golem. Rosenberg's major literary project, in which he was engaged for some 25 years, was a translation and reworking of the classic work of Jewish mysticism, the Zohar. He reedited the work to form a true commentary on the Bible and translated it from an often obscure Aramaic to a clear and simple Hebrew. He also added his own commentary. Within the Canadian Jewish community, Rosenberg elicited both respect and controversy. He had considerable influence in Orthodox circles in the two major centres of Jewish population in Canada: Toronto and Montreal. His reputation spread throughout the Jewish world. In particular, his influence was felt in the Canadian Jewish community in the issue of kashrut, the regulation of the Jewish dietary laws. His religious outlook, as gleaned from his writings, was quite pessimistic. In this, he was similar to many of his contemporary Orthodox rabbinical colleagues, though he was, perhaps, more articulate than most. It would be wrong, however, to assume that Rosenberg felt that the cause was by any means lost. In fact, he believed that he possessed the key to the salvation of Orthodox Judaism and its reconciliation with the modern world. This key was Kabbalah.

History / Biographical
Adele Druckman was born in Dorna Candrenilor near Vatra-Dornia, Romania, in 1894. At eighteen years old, she attended a school called Jaures-Zeugnis in the town of Chernovitz. In 1938, at 44, she was married to Isaac Kinsbrunner, a businessman in Chernovitz, which was under control of the Nazis. As Jews, they had to wear a yellow star and carry an identity card. After the Germans were defeated, the Soviets took over. Most of their family was gone, and they struggled to start again. Finally, in 1949 they decided to leave and emigrate to Paris. Adele packed her monogrammed linen, and hid her diamond engagement ring as well as an unmounted diamond. Isaac's cousin had moved to Canada in 1913, so they went to the Canadian Legation in Paris for permission to immigrate. They were required to leave by January 1950, and so booked passage on the Samaria to arrive in Halifax on February 9, 1950. They were met by Isaac's cousin, Sydney Brown, ne Kinsbrunner, and his wife Jessie Cohen, who took them to Sydney's shop in Montreal at 4464 Coloniale Avenue. Unfortunately, Isaac suffered a heart attack and died, having only been in Canada for 12 days, devastating Adele. Sydney and Jessie had two sons, aged 5 and 7, who helped Adele learn English using their schoolbooks, building on the French she had learned in Paris. Sydney learned of a job as a nurse's aid at the Mount Sinai Sanitorium in Ste Agathe, a village north of Montreal, which Adele took to immediately. She was well suited to comfort the patients and enjoyed the peace of the countryside. Adele was often included in Brown family events, including Passover and Rosh Hashana, and she even undertook a trip to Brooklyn, New York, to visit Sydney's sister, Pearl. She was required to provide an explanation for her lack of a passport, but was fortunate enough to have been able to bring her birth certificate from Romania. The Brown family often visisted Ste Agathe to visit, until Adele retired at 74, after 18 years at the Sanitorium. Upon retirement, Adele returned to Montreal, where Sydney helped her find a small apartment on Cote St Luc road next to a synagogue. Sydney's sons, meanwhile, had grown up and become both doctors. They both got married in the same week, and Ida offered her engagement ring to the elder son, while the younger son was offered the unmounted diamond. (Biographical note taken from file 00001.)
