Orthodox Synagogues: Chief Rabbi

Glazer Dept: -Gazette, Thursday, Aug. 20, 1908, according to Montreal Gazette. Glazer had been hired by a group of Orthodox synagogues to be their chief rabbi. They were small immigrant congregations and, unlike more established, "uptown" synagogues such as Shaar Hashomayim, none on its own could afford to pay a rabbi a living wage. "Hundreds of Hebrews in the city ... are not buying meat these days, pending the settlement of what has been termed "a strike for leniency" on the part of certain Jewish butchers." Rabbi Simon Glazer was not a man for compromise. That showed from the moment he arrived in Montreal, in 1907. He was just 29. As reported in the news.
