About Jozef (Jessel) Schönberg
REB YOSL LIBIANZER played a significant role-indeed, perhaps the most significant-in the history of Chrzanow Jews, both in the economic and spiritual realms. Although he himself was not a scholar, he supported other scholars. Reb Yosl donated a great deal of money to various philanthropic institutions in the city while he himself still lived in Libianz, about six kilometers from Chrzanow. He was a sort of Jewish leader there; his house was a headquarters for the council of elders. An interesting story relates how Reb Yosl became acquainted with the first rabbi of Chrzanow, Reb Shloymele.
Reb Shloymele was often visited by his comrade and student Reb Berish Ospitziner b/m . Unwilling to part from his friend, Reb Shloymele accompanied him a certain distance on the return trip on foot. They continued discussing affairs of the Torah, until the two men arrived at Oswiecim. And when Reb Shloymele set out to return to Chrzanow, Reb Berish refused to let him go alone. Engrossed in weighty matters of the Torah, the two men came back to Chrzanow. This walking back and forth continued, the two rabbis becoming more and more exhausted, until Reb Yosl noticed what was happening. He waited on the road for them at Libianz, got them into his coach and took both of them to their homes.
From that time a close friendship had arisen between the Rabbi of Chrzanow and Reb Yosl Libianzer. Later on the rabbi betrothed his daughter to Reb Yosl's son Reb Yukele. This marriage was the origin of the Kamienica family, which played a significant role in the development of the lumber industry in Chrzanow, and also played a role in spiritual life elsewhere.
