Photo Caption: This was originally a black-and-white photo that I colorized at MyHeritage. Rabbi Solomon Kanarek is seated at the center rear (his wife Beile is seated on his right). The photo shows his living children (with spouses) and grandchildren in 1919 (my father was born in 1924, so he is not shown here). Source: Kathryn (Keile Beile) Kanarek James

Any relation to the Kanareks from Peekskill or Lakewood?
Not sure, I do know that the Peekskill family was here before the War.
has anyone heard of the name Zalky or Zolky?
Which society is he buried in?
זאלקי or זלקא, are Kinuim for Shlomo just as Zalmen (Solomon), I know a few people living today with this name.
The Rav in Sanz, Gailica prior to the Divrie Chaim was named Reb Zalke, and the Toldos Anshie Shem on American Rabbis was written by Reb Zalke Rand.
אדם גדול רב אב”ד טרנוב בפולין נולד תרטו בא לנ.י. בתרס
Just came across his haskamah for the Sefer of Rebbe Eliezer Lipa Weissblum z”l.

he Signs as being Rav of Austria, Hungary Anshei S’fard – where was that shul located?
LF / CR:
The late Rosh Yeshiva of Peekskill, New Rochelle was Rav Yisroel Kanarek perhaps they are related.
Baruch:
If I remember correctly you once mentioned that you learned in Peekskill can you shed any light?
I am indeed a former Peekskiller, however I am not sure if there is any relation. The late Peekskill Rosh Yeshiva’s name was Rav Yisroel Eliezer and if I remember correctly his brother is a mashgiach in EY and in addition a nephew runs a girl school in Lakewood. Of coarse all his children are still associated with the Yeshiva in Peekskill.
Where is the Peekskill rosh yeshiva buried?
The new part of Har HaMenuchos, I think it’s called Har Tamir.
1.
What position did he have in New Rochelle.
2.
The Peekskillers’ spell their name Kanarik, if i remember correctly. True, extremely similar yet a different.
Baruch:
His name (brother in EY) is Rav Avraham Kanarek and he is the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim in Eretz Yisrael.
Asher with an A or Osher with an O????????
HE WAS NASSI OF “KOLEL CHIBAS YERUSHOLAIM L’ADAS GALIZIA”, WHICH WAS ALSO CALLED “KOLEL OSTREICH” SINCE GALIZIA WAS A PART OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN KINGDOM.
The Ravs’ Son, Reuvein Kanarek (d.1923 at age 44) is buried in Washington Cemetery in the proximity of Harav Hillel Klein z”l. I hope to upload a picture tomorrow, G-d willing.

My father in laws family Kanarek is from Siberia I recently purchased a kiddush cup with the Ravs name on it. I was wondering if we are by chance related. Chaim Nissen Kanarek
As far i know, he was presidentof Colel Chibas Yerusholayim (who is the Galizian Collel) an not Kolel Shomrei Hachomos (the Hungarian Colel)
Lisa – do you have a photograph of the cup? This is my Great Great Grandfather.
מכבוד הרב הגאון כו’ כש”ת מו”ה ר’ זאלקי קאנארעק נ”י רב ואב”ד עסטרייך אונגארישע אנשי ספרד בנעו יארק יע”א:

I believe the Rabbi is my great grandfather. He was married to Beile/Bella/Bertha (I think she changed her name). They immigrated to America around 1901/1902. They had several children. Lilly/Lillie died in 1911 as a teenager. One of their sons was David (who married Jennie) and they had three children – Roda/Rhoda, Ira and Jesse. Jesse is my father and he lives in California. My parents were divorced when I was yofung and I don’t know the Kanareks very well. My brother is a physician near Chicago. Jesse later married Helene (who has passed away) and had three daughters with his second wife. The rabbi used various first names at different times of his life so I have found Solomon, Salki, Saka, etc. depending on which NYC census I have seen. Hope this helps.
Rabbi Solomon Kanarek came from Tarnow (Tarnopol). He came by the ship Columbia to NYC in August 1901. I have been researching various sources. He can be found in the 1910 census and 1920 census in NYC under Solomon Kanarek. He is in the 1930 census under Saka Kanarek (clearly, someone mistranscribed his name).
The American Jewish yearbook vol 21 shows Rabbi Solomon Z. Kanarek as rabbi of the Austrian Hungarian Anshei S’phard on 62 Cannon St. In NYC.

Rabbi Kanarek was in Scranton 1900-1906 at the South Washington Ave Synagogue before he came to NYC.
Another son (with the title מורה מורנו on his marker) is buried in King Solomon Cemetery (Clifton NJ) Agudas Bnei Yisroel section). His name is Eliezer.
Rabbi Kanarek’s sister, Esther Birnbaum, is buried in the grave next to those of Solomon and his wife Beile bat Lieb. The parents of Solomon and his sister were Israel Kanarek and Rachel Brod. Solomon was born in Dzikow/Tarnobrzeg and moved to Tarnow where he met his wife Beile and where all of their children were born.
Kathryn Kanarek James… Please contact me, I believe we are related.
Rabbi Solomon Kanarek also had two brothers who came to America: Louis Kanarek and Isaac Kanarek. I don’t know if he had other siblings who remained in Galicia. I have family trees, as well as DNA, on Ancestry and MyHeritage.
