Admin History/Bio
Aron Fridenthal (b.1904-d.1970) was born in Lipsk, Poland. He became a rabbi at eighteen and later married Fiega, the daughter of Rabbi Shmuel Gringlas. They had a son, Abraham.
He headed the Revisionist movement in Ostrowiec, promoting Zionist ideas. Aron also worked as an accountant at Prince Pnitowski’s flour station. After the Holocaust, he organized an effort to provide housing and support for the community, connecting with people from Ostrowiec worldwide. While living in Warsaw in the mid- to late-1940s, Aron set up a historical committee to collect materials for the purposes of preserving Ostrowiec’s history. He helped people immigrate to Palestine/Israel and, as the secretary of the Jewish Congregation in Poland, worked to save Jewish children who had been given to Polish families during the Holocaust. Aron also played a role in rescuing Torah scrolls and Jewish books to be sent to Israel.
In 1951, he immigrated to Israel, where he studied law in Tel Aviv and became licensed to practice in 1964. In 1967, Aron received the Medal of Merit for his Zionist activities.
