Yudel Rosenberg
History / Biographical
Rabbi Yudel Rosenberg, was born in 1859 in the village of Skaryszew, Poland, and received a traditional Hasidic education. However, his exposure to secular learning through the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment), along with his mastery of the Russian language constituted an unusual combination of skills. Ordained as a young man, Rosenberg failed at several business ventures which resulted in an appointment as the rabbi in Tarlow, as well as in Warsaw, Lodz, and Lublin. In 1913, at the invitation of Polish Jews in Toronto, he emigrated to Canada and eventually settled in Montreal in 1919, where he became the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Orthodox Congregations of Montreal, a coalition of synagogues serving immigrant Ashkenazi communities too impoverished to hire their own rabbis. Amongst Rosenberg’s most well-known works is his translation of the Zohar from Aramaic to Hebrew, while his other works encompassed supercommentaries, the Haggadah for Passover with the Explanation and Customs of the Maharal of Prague (Warsaw, 1905), the Shaarei Zohar Torah (Warsaw, 1905), an attempt to organize Torah sections based on passages from the Zohar, and Rephuat ha-Nefesh u-Rephuat ha-Guf (Warsaw, 1907), a Yiddish translation of Maimonides’ second treatise from the Mishneh Torah which focuses on the health of the human body and soul. Rosenberg published Sefer Raphael hamalakh (Lodz, 1907), one of his most influential books which is a handbook of Hasidic healing constituing home remedies, medicines obtainable without a doctor’s prescription, inluding amulets and incantations. He was also known for a sequence of stories about the Golem of Prague, which he attributed to the Maharal of Prague. Contemporary study indicates that the work was in fact Rosenberg's. He was the grandfather of celebrated Canadian author Mordecai Richler, whose work was presumably inspired by Rosenberg's stories. He died in Montreal on October 23, 1935.

History / Biographical
Rabbi Abraham Shtern was born in Poland in 1878 and passed away in Montreal in 1955. Rabbi Shtern arrived in Canada in 1938 with members of his family and was appointed rabbi of the Zeirei Dat Vadaat Congregation of Montreal. Several of his children had arrived in Canada prior to his arrival and were counted amongst the Yiddish cultural elite: Jacob Zipper, author and principal of the Jewish Peretz School; Sholem Shtern, poet and literary writer; Israel Shtern, Yiddish and English poet; Yehiel Shtern, educator and author; and Shifra Krishtalka, educator and writer of pedagogical literature. Rabbi Shtern was the author of three volumes of essays on biblical and hasidic themes, in both Hebrew and Yiddish: "Edut be-Yisrael" (1943), "Kevuzat Kitvei Aggadah" (1947), and "Hutim ha-Meshulashim" (1953).
