History / Biographical
Abraham Dworkin was born in Russia in 1879 and died in Ottawa on April 13, 1951. He married Deborah Azmier who died June, 1922. Abraham's second wife was Fanny Saipe. Abraham and Deborah had eight children: Sarah, Ben (b. March 25, 1900 d. 1994, aged 94), Rose, Fay, Nel (also seen as Nell), Alex, Helen and Clara. Ben Dworkin was a public servant and reporter who wrote for multiple publications including the Ottawa Citizen and the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin and Review. He was the crime reporter for the Citizen in the late 1940's and early 1950's. The Dworkin family is best known in Ottawa for their store, Dworkin Furs, which began in 1901. Its original location was at 256 Rideau St. The store closed in 2012 due to falling sales as fur went out of fashion, and it, along with Ottawa's Burkholder Furs, was purchased by Global Fur Inc. out of Montreal. The home itself likely should have been designated a heritage building with protected status but by May, 2014 the home was the last remaining house on that stretch of Rideau Street downtown and it was demolished to make way for a modern condominium building (the City specifically stated that it no longer fit the context of the rest of the street).

History / Biographical
Esther Dorsky (Dorskaya) immigrated from Russia in 1926. She was unmarried and probably came to Ottawa to join her cousin in the Evenchick family who had already settled in Ottawa. Archie Goldfield immigrated from Elizabetgrad, Kherson, Russia in 1899 with his parents Myer and Annie, his two brothers Ben and Charles, a sister Pearl, and his grandmother, also named Pearl Goldfield. Esther and Archie were married on April 1, 1928 by Rabbi Jacob Mirsky. Esther and Archie had no children. Initially, Archie opened a butcher shop with his father Myer and later went into business with his brother Charles. Esther similarly worked in her husband's shop. When the business was moved from Bank Street to the Byward market, Charles moved into the drover side of cattle while Archie continued the butcher shop and was active in the Jewish community. Charles’s sons, Morley Goldfield (m. Diane Aultschuler) and Jack Goldfield (d. October 9, 1991), worked in their uncle Archie's store on Saturdays and holidays in the 1940's. The Byward location, on Murray Street near Anglesea Square sold, among other products, hot dogs and smoked meats. They always had a stand at the annual Ottawa Exhibition. Charles’s wife Eva operated the Ottawa Kosher Catering Service until her sudden death in 1957. She was the only Jewish caterer in Ottawa for much of the time she was in business.
