I was wondering how I could go about looking for possible descendancy myself. My grandfather is Ray Bruder but he refuses to disclose anything about his family history.

Dear William
It is interesting to hear that Dr. Joseph Bruder (1873-1955) Hella’s Great Grandfather performed the same kind of surgery on you like he did on my Grandfather Mr. Judah Weberman I guess that it was quite common in those days,
We would like to hear from you if you can Email me

Paul and Vivian, I am your mother Ruth’s first cousin. My father, Dr. Louis Fried, was your grandmother, Kate’s brother. My own brother is also named Pinchos Aaron, after the progenitor. Hella, your great grandfather, my uncle Joe, performed a tonsillectomy on me when I was 5 years old, at the now defunct Medical Arts Hospital on 57th Street in Manhattan. One of my father’s sisters, Celia, married a man named Izzie Winston. Are you related to him?

Hello again. From census and other records I was able to find several addresses for Pinchos Aaron Bruder.

1900–54 Lewis Street (Manhattan)

1903–37 Atlantic Avenue (Brooklyn)
This may have been his place of business as the listing says “mens frng”

1910–140 Clymer Ave (Brooklyn)

1920–20 Columbia Street (Brooklyn)

1930—Betti Bruder (Pinchos’ widow) living at 350 Hooper St. (Brooklyn) with daughter Celia (Weberman)

I have these documents and can email them to anyone who would like them. You can contact me at hellawinston@gmail.com

Just saw your posts today. I live in Toronto, and know Tzvi Hershkowitz and Shragi Wilhelm here, who are Weberman descendants. I, myself, am a great, great grandson of the Bruders, but am descendant from another Bruder daughter, Anna Fried, a sister of Mrs. Weberman. (I am named after Pinchos Aharon Bruder!). Hella, I knew the Winston name growing up in Crown Heights. Usher, please send me information at paulaaronjacobs@rogers.com. My telephone number is (416) 633-6620.

I am Paul (Pinchas Aaron) Jacobs’ sister. Our Great Grandmother Anna Fried, whom we called Mutti was a daughter of Pinchas A. as was our Great Aunt Dora Bluestone, who lived into her late 90’s. I remember them both. My Grandmother Kate Jacobs had several siblings and raised an Orthodox family. Most of whom remain so to the seventh generation in America.

Hi. I hired a genealogist to do family research and just discovered our mutual ancestor, Rabbi Pinchos Aaron Bruder. He was the father of my paternal great grandfather, Joseph Bruder. I spoke to my aunt, who never met him and told me that he had effectively disowned and sat shiva for my great grandfather because he decided to attend medical school and there were classes held on Shabbos. My great grandfather became a physician and practiced part of the time in Vienna and part of the time in New York and had two children, Muriel and Betty Bruder. Betty was my grandmother. I live in New York City and have a brother (who has three children) and two first cousins, one of whom lives in Brooklyn, the other in Berkeley, who are also descended from Rabbi Pinchos. I have two second cousins, one in New York and one in LA (Davidson is their last name) and their father lives in Rome. I would love to hear from any of my long lost relatives!

As a grandchild of R ‘ Pinchas Aaron I knew that he was a shoichet. My grandfather remembered him as a child and he was already an old man in his high 80 (he was 90 in 1927 when he passed away) and was no longer working at that time. Rabbi Weinberger was the rabbi in the cong. where Moshe Weberman who was son in law of R ‘ Pinchas Aaron was a member.
It would appear that there was a dispute with Rabbi Dr. Hillel Klein about the Shochtim Union as Rabbi Weinberger who wrote two seforim Hoiel Moshe (p.1895) and Halacha Lmoshe (p.1902, see page 54) where you can find additional information. Both seforim are available on Hebrewbooks.

I wonder if he is the Shochet R’ Pinchas Aharon mentioned in this teshuva to rabbi Moshe weinberger:

I certainly can give you biographical information and some pictures. Do you happen to have a large book entitled The World That Was: America 1900-1945?
It was published in 2004 and distributed by Mesorah Publications. In any event, it has a wealth of information and pictures on the development of Orthodoxy in America in those days and the individuals and families involved. There is a picture of Pinchus Bruder and his wife on page 343, together with their children, Moshe and Tzurtel Weberman, at the 1927 golden wedding anniversary of their children. This was just before he passed away.The article itself (from page 342 to 347) is primarily about Binyomin Wilhelm, who married the Weberman’s daughter (I.e. the Bruder’s grandaughter) and was a founder of Torah Vodaath. My great-grandmother was Mrs Weberman’s sister, Muti Fried. The Bruders came to America circa 1876 from Austro Hungary. Today, there are literally thousands of 5th, 6th and 7th generation American descendants including (among many others) the Belskys, Wilhelms, Webermans, Dickers, Jacobs, Hershkowitz, Bloom etc families. I myself am 5th generation and my grandchildren 7th.
