Spotlight
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Rolf Lederer, a pivotal figure in the founding of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto and a cherished member of our community. Rolf passed away on 22 July 2024. Burial will be held in Israel.
Born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1934, Rolf's journey took him to South Africa, where he earned his medical degree from Cape Town University. After completing his psychiatric training in Edinburgh and Boston, he settled in Toronto in 1968, where he established a private practice as a general psychiatrist.
