Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Rosenberg, Stuart E, 1922-1990 : Stuart E. Rosenberg, rabbi, author, was born in 1922 in New York, N.Y. He received Smicha (ordination) in 1945 and his M.H.L. in 1949 from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (J.T.S.A.). He graduated with M.A(1948) and Ph.D(1953) from Columbia University. Dr. Rosenberg served as rabbi of Temple Beth El, Rochester, New York from 1946 to 1956. He then accepted the call of Beth Tzedec Congregation, Toronto, one of the world's largest conservative synagogues in 1956.

During his tenure at Beth Tzedec, Dr. Rosenberg founded the United Synagogue Day School in 1958. In 1965, he arranged for Beth Tzedec to acquire the Cecil Roth Collection of rare Judaica for its museum. The same year, he founded the Canadian Foundation for Jewish Culture and went on to serve as its National President for a decade. He was campaign chairman of the United Jewish Appeal for Metropolitan Toronto in 1967. He was founder of the Ontario Committee for Government Aid to Jewish Day Schools in 1970 and served as Department Editor for Canada of the Encyclopedia Judaica. In 1971, he became a Canadian citizen. Dr. Rosenberg earned a wide reputation as a guest rabbi, lecturer and public speaker. Active in support of Soviet Jewry, he was one of the first Jewish leaders to publicize their plight in a series of articles which appeared in the Toronto Star after a visit to the Soviet Union in 1961. In 1973, Dr. Rosenberg was dismissed as Rabbi of Beth Tzedec and its Board by the Board of Directors. He filed suit against Beth Tzedec and its Board for wrongful dismissal and breach of contract. The issue was resolved in 1976, when an out-of-court settlement was reached ending one of the most bitter disputes ever experienced in North American history between a congregation and its rabbi. Dr. Rosenberg served as national executive director of the Canadian Friends of the Tel Aviv University for a brief period after he left Beth Tzedec and its Board. He then served as rabbi of Beth Torah Congregation in Toronto from 1982 until he retired from the pulpit in 1989. He passed away on March 12, 1990. Dr. Rosenberg was the author of over 20 books including The Jewish Community in Canadand wrote articles for a syndicated column which appeared in newspapers across Canada. His autobiography The Real Jewish World appeared in 1984. Throughout his career, Dr. Rosenberg received many honours. The Stuart E. Rosenberg Chair of Jewish History was endowed at the JTSA by Beth Tzedec congregation in 1960.
