THE PINKAS
       					 
The Pinkas is an account of the founding of the Red Shul, anecdotes, stories, and humor. It was
written by Yechiel Herman, likely between 1906 and 1952. It is a large and beautiful book,
viewable at Tifereth Beth David Jerusalem on Baily Road in Cote St Luc (Montreal, Quebec).

The English translation by David Rome is presented here. Janice Rosen, Archives Director, Canadian
Jewish Congress Charities Committee National Archives has done additional technical editing and 
kindly provided for its appearance here.

Our thanks to Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz and the Executive Committee of Tifereth Beth David Jerusalem
for permission to include the Pinkas on this website. 

It is possible that some segments of the Yiddish text are still untranslated.
