He was the first Jewish physician to be granted privileges at the St. Boniface Hospital. He completed postgraduate studies at Vienna in 1927 then returned to practice in Winnipeg until retirement in 1960.
In January 1932, he was cited by Prince Carl of Sweden for “his unselfish relief work to the Swedish people of Winnipeg and for his contribution to the realization of the aims of the Red Cross.”
On 22 June 1922, he married Rose Bronfman and they subsequently had three children: Mindel Rady (wife of Tom Olenick), Marjorie Rady (wife of Morley Blankstein), and Ernest Rady. The family lived at 151 Harvard Street. He was a member of the Mount Sinai Lodge of Manitoba, B'nai B'rith, Shaarey Zedek Synagogue, Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University, and Manitoba Medical Association.
