Maiers Winter Family Update IV-The Moise Berman Connection?

Part IV-Maiers Winter Family Update
MOISE BERHMAN-UNCLE?
He was the Uncle Moise Behrman that Isaac Winter stayed with in 1904 in New York at 94 E Broadway. In the 1905 census the family are still at 94 and Moise is a Merchant-Woollens. The 1910 census has Moise Berman (Traveller and selling Old Woollen Clothes) and the family are living at 265 East Broadway. The 1920 census has Moise Berman (Manager in a Woollen Dipping factory) and family at 48th Street no. 1430. His World War 1 Registration card confirms this address.


There is a possible link between Uncle Moise Berman of Isaac Winter and the Kaplans. It seems that the address where Isaac was going was where Rose Berman nee Fried’s father lived (a Rabbi) which being 96 East Broadway was just next door. It appears that Dora Rose mother Fanny was a Kaplan which could explain why Moise Berman was called Uncle by Isaac.




If for instance, Dora Rose Berman nee Fried was Phillip Kaplan's (Rose Winter’s husband and Jacob Winter’s brother in law) cousin and Fanny Kaplan is the Aunt then that might explain why Moise and Rose Behrman were Aunt and Uncle in Isaac Winter’s mind.


However, the spoiler is that the Berman/Giardina Family Tree on Ancestry states that both Morris and Rose came from Lithuania. Where’s the connection with Isaac Winter?


Natalie Lamb suggested that as a Rabbi with a large family and probably not much money, Rose’s father acted as a destination to help new immigrants enter the USA.


Morris's death year was 1962 (born in Kovno/Kaunas on 15th July, 1880). Rose's parents were a Joseph Fried born 1855 and Rebecca Fanny Kaplan.


It looks as though Morris entered the USA in 1893 and Rose in 1892. Morris naturalised in 1912.


Morris married Rose Fried on August 19th, 1902 in Manhattan. Children were Newton (born 1904), Phillip (born 1906), Norman (born 1908), Pauline (born 1912), Irving (born 1915) and Leonard (born 1918).


RABBI YOSEF FRIED-ROSE BEHRMAN NEE FRIED FATHER
Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Fried came from a famous Rabbinic Family in Russia-Lithuania, his father Reb Yehuda Leib was one of 5 sons of Rabbi Moshe Mishel Luria (I’m not sure if RYL altered his name from Luria to Fried or only his son RYE) who was the Rabbi in a town called Krakinovo a suburb of Kovno, now known as Kaunas, Lithuania.


The other four sons of Rabbi Luria were; Shaul Luria, Nathan Nuta Luria-Flahm, Yehonoson Luria and Eliahu Ahron Luria, they had one sister Rivka Lipla who married Mier Kemaiker known as Mier Anikster; they immigrated to Palestine and lived in Jerusalem.


Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Fried served as the Rabbi in Shukian and later came to the US where he settled in NYC, he was never officially installed as Rabbi in the Eldridge St. Shul but was one of its highest ranked members where he also preached and taught others. The address was 12-16 Eldridge Street, East Broadway.


Rabbi Fried was one of the Rabbis who issued a eulogy on the passing of RJJ the Rav Hakollel; he also served as a Rabbi for Kashrus of Meat and Matzohs.


His wife Fiege Rivka (Fanny) was the daughter of Shraga Fievish HaCohen and Pesha (Maiden name Friedman), they had 4 sons; Isidore, John (Louis?), Herman and Abraham and two daughters; Ida Cohen and Rose Berman.


In the 1900 national census they were living at 96 East Broadway as well as in the 1905 New York census. Next door at 98 there were some Kaplans (Benjamin) dealing in the same cloth business as one of the Rabbi’s sons. It seems that the wife Fannie’s maiden name was Kaplan. By the 1910 census they were living in 48th Street around number 15 and in 1920 they were at west 1 and 5th Street.






Rabbi Fried passed away May of 1927, his funeral was held at his residence 3 west 11th St. in NYC. Information from [email protected]
