Hi Jancie -

Was your grandfather Lionel Golub the attroney in New York? If so, his sister Celia was my grandmother, and I am in the process of researching that side of the family. For some reason all of the documentation shows their father as being Rabbi Soloman Golubowski. Do I have the right family? If so, feel free to email me.

Janice,
I am also distantly related via the Eskolsky/Yudelovitch connection. I do have some info on R. Z.T. Golubowski that I can send. Please contact me at eskolskyinfo@yahoo.com

Barry Yood: we are related though distantly. My great grandfather was Rabbi Zalman Golubowski. He and your grandfather, Rabbi Yudelevich were brothers. My mother has many pictures. One in particular has your grandfather with my great grandfather and grandfather (Lionel Golub) at the White House petitioning for wine for the sabbath during prohibition. I am trying also to learn about the family, particularly my grandfather. If anyone has information I’d appreciate it!

FEBRUARY 4, 1930
Rabbi Abraham Aaron Yoodelovitch Dies at 82

Bayonne, N. J. -
Rabbi Abraham Aaron Yoodelovitch, one of the most noted orthodox rabbis in this country, president of the Jewish Ministers’ Association of the United States and Canada, died on Sunday at the home of his son, Ben Yood, this city, at the age of 82. He had been ill for the past six months.
Rabbi Yoodelovitch, noted for his learning, was the author of several books which dealt with researches into orthodox Jewish law. The most important of these works is the series called “Beth Av” or “House of the Fathers.”
Rabbi Yoodelovitch was born in Navarodock, Minsk, Russia, the scion of generations of noted rabbis. He was known as a child prodigy at the Yeshivah of Wolozhin. He was ordained at the age of 17, and after holding several rabbinates in Russia, went to England, where he lived for twenty years. He came to the United States in 1909 and here he occupied rabbinical positions in Boston, New Haven, Bayonne and New York. His last rabbinate was that of the Eldridge Street Synagogue, Manhattan.

“A new Moses of all jews in the US”

A report in The Washington Times on April 1 1919 proclaims, upon the elections of Rabbi Yudelowitz as Cheiff Rabbi with 200 synagauges under his direction.

Thanks for pointing this out R. Miller! This is the first time I’ve heard of that site’s existence (also managed by hebrewbooks.org).

Also other kisvei yad PDFs of R. Yudelovitch to be found listed there at http://www.hebrewmanuscripts.org/index.aspx?b=11

I was just told by a chushava Rov that the chalitza psak “wiped him off the map”. It was a fatal decision that unfortunately minimized his other seferim and accomplishments.

Barry Yood — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 18:47:57 +0000

I am the great grandson of Rabbi Yudelovitch. I ht him, and have been trying to learn more about him. I have also been trying to reestablish the prominance of his teaching among scolars and the lagrer Jewish community. I would welcome any information about him that you have.
Thanks,

R. Abraham Aaron Yudelevitz was a rav in Manchester at the turn of the twentieth century. He would later come to the United States where he served as a rav in Boston and later in New York, and he was also a rosh yeshiva at Yeshivat R. Yitzhak Elhanan. As with a few others, while in N.Y. he even had the title “Rav ha-Kollel.”

Yudelevitz might have been the most brilliant Torah scholar in the United States. He was also prepared to stand up to anyone (including the Rogochover) and is known for one incredible pesak that created enormous controversy: He permitted a woman to appoint another woman as her shaliah to carry out the halitzah ceremony.

There is some nice information and bio about him.

By: YD Miller

YD Miller — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:48:50 +0000

OK I figured it out his name was rabbi Zalmen Tovia “Galibovsky” he was Rav in Bayonne NJ, Brooklyn NY and in the Bronx.

The Search goes on for more info.

Here is where his brother mentions him:

YG : (re: father’s name)
Rav Yudelovitch’s father’s name appears as Binyamin Bunim in sha’ar of R.A.A.Y.’s first sefer – Alim L’Mivchan (c. 1872) at
http://www.hebrewbooks.org/39264
In Ohalei Shem (1912), the bio blurb on for Rav Yudelovitch (p. 296) lists his father’s name as Binyamin Beinish.

YD Miller: (re: R. Mordechai Aharon Kaplan and R. Schlossberg)
The 1951 that HaPardes obituary said 3,000 (shloshes alafim) attended the levaya, not 30,000.

In addition to learning at Mir and Slutzk, a bio blurb in the Ephraim Tiktin collection at YIVO says that R. Kaplan also studied at RIETS when he first came to the USA and in 5669 got semicha from 2 RIETS roshei yeshiva -
R. Avraham Aharon Yudelovitch and R. Shmuel Tzvi Wein.

There’s a has a bio blurb on Rav Schlossberg in Ohalei Shem on pps. 465, 466

Regarding Rav Yudelovitch’s father’s name if you go to the Hebrewbooks.org link listed above and you click the “order print version” option, you will find his father’s name listed as “Binyamin Bunim.”

I just met up with Barry Yood, a great grandson of Harav Yudelovitch z”l. In one of the many newspaper clippings he showed me, was the Manischewitz article in the Morgen Joutnal, March 18, 1921, about the Rabbanim visiting the Manischewitz Plant in Cincinnati.

Th caption underneath the picture identifies the people from right to left:
1. Rav Tzi Hirsh Manischewitz
2. Rav Binyomin Haleivy Livei (spelled lamed, yud, vuv, vuv, yud, yud)
3. Harav Yudelovitch z”l
4. Rav Mordechai Aaron Kaplan
5. Harav Horshtein (Mashgiach Tmidi from Jerusalem)

Interesting. TY YD.

YD Miller — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:29:04 +0000

Asher,
Not Correct, Reb Mier Morim was his uncle, the brother of his mother (The B”A stands for Ben Achoso).

The reason why that was so important on the tumbstone, is because he was very famous perhaps more then his own father, and also because he was very close to him and learned with/from him.

The second question you probable answered right, he was known as “Harav Yudelowitz”.
