- History / Biographical
- Avram (Abraham) Lazarus Florence (b. 1875- d. 1936) was one of Ottawa’s best known Jewish businessmen in his day. Born at Zadik, Lithuania A. L. Florence came to Canada in his early teens. For several years he lived in Hamilton then moved to Ottawa around 1900. Initially he was listed as a junk dealer in the Ottawa City Directory, living at 107 Dalhousie Street and operated his business at 75-77 Dalhousie Street. Eventually he specialized in supplying paper mills with used paper. The Government of Canada was a major client for the Florence Paper Company Ltd. Florence was president of the Agudath Achim Congregation, and was one of the prominent members of the congregation associated with the building of the Rideau Street Synagogue in 1912. He was also a strong supporter of the Hebrew Benevolent Society and the Ottawa Talmud Torah Board. He married Lena Pullan who died at the age of 45 in 1925. They had three sons and four daughters. The Florences built a large home overlooking the Ottawa River near Earnscliffe, which was later sold to members of the Francisan Order who converted the home into a monastery. In 1985, the Florence Paper Company was bought by Laidlaw Company.

- History / Biographical
- Ami Hai (meaning my people live) was formed in 1970 when Sylvia Rosenes and Iris Jurek's Jewish dance class combined with a group of male dancers led by Dr. Roger Wells. It evolved as a performing group from a series of folk dance programs offered by the Jewish Community Centre to the Ottawa dance community. The Company drew its dancers from both within the Jewish community as well as from other ethnic roots. Company members have combined their formal dance training with a specific interest in perpetuating the style and character of the dances of Israel and the Jewish people. For this, the Company owes much of its success to noted Israeli dance personality Moshiko whose career as a choreographer was influenced by the centuries-old cultural traditions of the Yemenites and other Middle Eastern communities living in Israel. All of the dances, Yemenite, Hassidic and modern, were created by Moshiko. Performance highlights included the National Arts Centre, Ontario Place, Bishops University, Laval University and "Ontario on Parade", a Folk Arts Council presentation which toured Olympic sites in 1976. Ami Hai placed among the top three companies in Canada at the International Molson's awards in Toronto in 1978.
