Yehuda Leib Ginsburg

The rest of the Ginsburgs followed in October of that year, and while the family originally settled in New Haven, CT they moved to New York, NY soon after their arrival.

He was originally treated at the Hebraic Sanitarium in Browns Mills, NJ, but was then moved to the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society (JCRS) in Denver, CO to receive more intensive care.

[2] Although his original intention was to return to New York upon his recovery, by April 1932 Rabbi Ginsburg had decided that he wanted to remain in Denver permanently.

Although he only received a small stipend from the congregation, a fund was started to support Rabbi Ginsburg and his family as he worked on writing and publishing his books.

[2] In Yalkut Yehuda and Musar Hanevim Ginsburg collects Midrashim and the words of the commentators above and presents his own commentary below via footnotes.

In Keter HaShabbat he presents a collection of essays relating to the day of Shabbat as well as commentaries on Pirkei Avot, Shir HaShirim and Barchi Nafshi.

He takes the ‘dry’ passages of Torat Cohanim and turns them into golden chains on to which he strings the colorful, sparkling gems that are strewn throughout the Talmuds, Mechilta, Midrashim, Yalkutim, and other writings of our ancient, sublime, religious literature.

It is desirable, therefore, that our Jewish intelligentsia who find no opportunity to search through the depths of our sea of learning, should peruse the Yalkut Yehudah by Rabbi Ginsburg.
