The Keneder Adler was the Yiddish Newspaper published in Montreal by Harry (Hirsch) Wolofsky.

Keneder Odler is the incorrect transliterated spelling and pronunciation of Keneder Adler (Canadian Eagle).

Wolofsky, his descendants, the native Yiddish speakers of the day and everyone who ever read the newspaper pronounced it Adler, the transliterated spelling of the Yiddish word. Adler is also the transliterated spelling of the Yiddish Surname.

This spelling discrepancy has arisen because of a mispronunciation on the part of Québécois ethnographic historians.
