In one of the few studies of the early immigrant Orthodox rabbinate
in North America, Ira Robinson has delved into the Jewish community
in Montreal in the first three decades of the twentieth century.
Rabbis and their Community: Studies in the Eastern European
Orthodox Rabbinate in Montreal, 1896-1930, introduces several
rabbis who, in various ways, impacted their immediate congregations
as well as the wider Montreal Jewish community. Most studies of the
early North American rabbinate focus on only one rabbi. Here,
though, Robinson carefully examines the interrelationship among a
number of rabbis sharing the same communal "turf." He has
diligently researched the unpublished source material these men,
generally forgotten to history, left behind. Their writing offers a
valuable glimpse at some of the struggles and challenges they faced
in their own community, as well as those faced by Canadian Jewish
society as a whole in the early twentieth century. Robinson
introduces the reader to such leaders as Rabbi Hirsh Cohen, a
fixture in the Jewish community of Montreal from 1901 through the
late 1940s, Rabbi Simon Glazer, Cohen's main rival for the chief
rabbinate, and revolutionary thinker Rabbi Yudel Rosenberg. The
issues they faced, such as the Kosher meat wars of the 1920s, and
the institutions they created, most notably the Jewish Community
Council of Montreal, were factors of fundamental importance for the
development of the second-largest Jewish community in Canada.
