Bio Information:
Only son of Chief Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Joseph.
« Previous: Rebbe Chaim HalberstamNext: Rabbi Moshe Soloveitchik »
The Rav Hakollel also had a son “Schmuel” (as per th NY Times article after the passing of the Chieff Rabbi Yaakov Joseph).
He aslo had two daughters, Schultz and Brody.
Brody is in New Mount Carmel.
I am pretty sure he only had one son, please post the date of the NYT article so I could look it up (or send it to me).
Thank you,
Tzvi:
Its a footstone along with other Brody family members, does anyone know where the sister is buried.
She is listed as Anna Brody d. 7/10/1940 on the Mount Carmel website, she is in Section: 2, Block: 5, Map: 12 along the road.
Irving,
That’s why I questioned it, now that I re-read the Times article, I might have made a mistake.
Rabbi Stern:
His other daughters name was Nechama (not sure of an English name). She married Dr. S. Robert Shultz, the Chief Rabbi?s personal physician. I am still looking for the her grave.
Thank you,
Thanks, keep up the good work!!!!!!!
Miller:
The matzeiva says that he was a “ben yachid”.
Rabbi Stern:
I just checked the NYT, her name was Dorothy and she passed away in September of 1963. Form the obit it would appear that she was involved with many chesed organizations. He husband Dr. Simon Robert Schultz passed away in 1928. No mention of where she was buried.
I will use some of the clues in the obit to see what I could “dig” up. Interestingly, both obits clearly ask mourners not to bring flowers.
Thank you,
I just came across this wonderful website, allow me to fill in some of the missing pieces. Dorothy (Nechama) is buried at Union Field not far from her father. If I remember correctly she had no children thus ābeloved auntā is listed on her marker. Keep in mind that her husband, Dr. Schultz (who was 9 months younger than her) died in 1928 while she died in 1963.
Just a small correction Chana (Anna) was older that Dorothy. Anna was born April 12, 1874 while Dorothy was born August 5, 1875.
I am researching the family (parents/siblings) of Dr. Simon Robert Schultz, who according to the medical journal Eclectic Review (15 Jun 1902) married Dorothy Joseph on 5 Jun 1902 in New York. “BJ”, a recollection of one of Simon’s nephews is that Simon [and Dorothy] did not have children – consistent with your memory. Census records also are consistent with Simon and Dorothy not having had any children. Re Dorothy’s birth date, Simon’s application for a passport in July 1914 states his wife (Dorothy nee Joesph) was born Aug 8, 1876.
FYI, Dr. Schultz’s family includes parents Abraham and Sarah, brothers Max, Hyman, and David, and sisters Chy-Sura, and Dora. I am looking for more information on this family.
