Israel Rosen was born in the village (Shetl) of Vishnevets, Russia (now Ukraine) in 1870, the youngest of nine children. His mother died when he was ten, forcing him to fend for himself thereafter. He came to America in 1906, settling in Philadelphia, and brought his family over in stages as he accumulated funds. He suffered poor health throughout his life and struggled to make a living. He worked as a peddler with horse and wagon, pushcart, and eventually in stores selling tailoring and textile supplies. A religious Jew with a deep belief in God, he married twice and fathered seven children. He died in 1948.

He lives in Penn Valley, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Maxine, of fifty-seven years. They love to hike, travel and enjoy time with their three married children and five grandchildren.
