- History / Biographical
- Abraham Lithwick (b. 1897 Ritziv, Russia - d. 1953 Ottawa) and Dora (Rosenberg) Lithwick (b. 1897 Rovno, Ukraine - d. January 30, 1980 Ottawa) arrived in Ottawa on July 8, 1921. They were among the large group of immigrants that fled Russia and its programs in the early 1920's. They operated, Lithwick's, a wholesale and retail store in the Byward Market for 12 years. In 1937, the entire family left Ottawa for Melbourne, Australia where Dora’s father, brothers and uncles had immigrated. Because of an epidemic of infantile paralysis, they returned to Ottawa 15 weeks after their initial departure. Another reason was the unexpected aspect that the Lithwicks would be starting again as immigrants in Australia and learning a new set of rules and regulations for business. Upon their return, Abraham Lithwick turned to real estate and became more involved in the Jewish community. He died in 1953 after a short illness. Shortly after, Dora Lithwick began working toward establishing a home for elderly Jewish people. In 1963, the sod was turned for Hillel Lodge on Wurtemburg Street. Dora Lithwick was a founder and first President of the Ottawa Jewish Home for the Aged. In 1975, she was instrumental in having a religious chapel added to the home and it carried the name Abraham and Dora Lithwick Beth Midrash.
- Notes
- 1. Dora’s father in Australia was working in real estate. 2. Interview with Dora Lithwick gives an excellent overview of shop life during the depression in Ottawa.

- History / Biographical
- Adolphe Sherman (b.1888- d.1943) was born near Minsk, Russia. He spent his early years in Kiev travelling from village to village as a tailor, before arriving in Ottawa in 1903 at age 15. Adolphe Sherman was sponsored by his uncle R. H. Miller, a ladies tailor and furrier. Naturally he went to work for his uncle, working as a cutter and designer before opening his own small shop at 390 Somerset Street. The small shop was a success so he opened a larger store, A. Sherman Ladies Tailor and Furrier, at 216 Bank Street in 1912. Adolphe Sherman’s wife, Sadie Pascovsky (also seen as Pakefsky, Paskevsky, and later changed to Pascal) (b. April 7, 1886 – d. March 24, 1960) also worked in the business. Sadie was born in Odessa, Russia, and arrived in Ottawa in 1905 at age 19. She and Adolphe were married in 1905. In 1926 the Sherman’s were living at 406 Bay Street. Adolphe Sherman was President of the B’nai Jacob Congregation (1930-1935) and was responsible for rebuilding the James Street synagogue. He laid the cornerstone for the synagogue in 1931. He was also active in other Ottawa Jewish organizations; serving as Vice-President of the Ottawa Talmud Torah Board, vice-chairman of the Keren Hayesod Campaign for 1933, and was an active member of the Hebrew Benevolent Society. He was also one of the original members of the Ottawa Vaad Ha'ir which was formed in 1934. Adolphe Sherman enjoyed taking his family on motor trips to New York and Philadelphia to visit relatives. He also undertook an extended business and pleasure trip in the winter of 1932 to New York, the Caribbean, Panama and parts of South America. These trips were extensively photographed and documented within the collection. Adolphe and Sadie had three daughters: Sylvia (Friedman), Anne (Aaron) and Dorothy (Maser). Sylvia married Jerry Friedman (Jeremiah Abraham Friedman) in January of 1953 at B'nai Jacob Synagogue. They had one daughter, Perley-Ann Friedman. Anne married Louis Aaron and Dorothy married Dave Maser. Adolphe Sherman’s brother, Alex Sherman, (b. unknown d. May 24, 1975).was a prolific music man who set up record stores across Canada. He acquired the name of Mr. Records, becoming the head of the "Excellent record studio and label." He was among the promoters and organizers that arranged for Elvis Presley‘s concert at The Auditorium music hall in April, 1957. He was the father of Allan Sherman and grandfather of Felicia Sherman and Jennifer Sherman.

- Notes
- 1. Inscription on a photocopied photograph of Sadie and her brother reads: "This is Maw and her brother who lived in New York. He was married to Mrs. Epstine [sic]'s sister. Maw was 18 when the picture was taken in Russia. They never had any children" 2. Numerous unscanned photographs in this fonds. 3. Oversize items include Adolphe's scrapbooks and Sylvia's photo albums. They are located with oversize materials for Individuals and Family fonds. 4.A hand written note within Adolphe's file implies that Sadie's sister (name not given) married a man named Max Shulman. 5.According to some sales records listed in the Ottawa Citizen, September 8, 1933, the Sherman family home was once at Charlotte and Besserer Streets and was sold to a Selena Maxwell for $31,000. 6. Apparently, when many students were forbidden to Elvis Presley but went regardless, they were expelled from school. Alex Sherman spoke to school administrators on the students' behalfs, and faciliated re-enrollment for many.

- History / Biographical
- The United Hebrew Brethren Congregation, or Agudath Achim, was the second orthodox congregation in Ottawa. Founded in 1902 by former members of Adath Jeshrun, the founding trustees of the synagogue were Abraham Kert (trader and traveller), Moses Roodman (peddler), Myer Held (peddler), Elias Pullan (merchant), Isaac Noe (carpenter), Michael Addleman (peddler), and Moses Merson (upholsterer). It is not known with certainty why former members of Adath Jeshurun split off to form their own congregation; however, some reasons have been speculated. Increased immigration at the time likely played a role in promoting the founding of a new synagogue, as the Jewish population had grown large enough to support two synagogues. Another known issue was that some men were not satisfied with the mechitza, or partition, dividing men and women in the newly built Adath Jeshurun Synagogue. A curtain was the only physical divider separating seating and some men felt it should be a solid wooden panel all around. Regardless of the precise reason, on August 13, 1902, it was announced that the founding trustees had committed the congregation to a $3000 mortgage for the purchase and conversion of a double house at 417 Rideau Street. The congregation’s first structure accommodated 75 male worshipers on the ground floor with a smaller number of seats for women available on the second floor balcony. The day prior, August 12, 1902, a cornerstone was laid by Mr. A. Rosenthal to mark the beginning of the building's conversion. By 1912 a new synagogue was planned to be built at 417 Rideau Street. The building committee consisted of J. Sugarman, H. Finkelstein, and K. Cohen. The corner stone was laid on July 1, 1912 and the new synagogue was opened on January 19, 1913. It was designed by Burgess & Coyle with a seating capacity for 400. The synagogue was later extended in 1928. Rabbi Joseph D. Berger served the Congregation from 1902 to 1927. When the Congregation joined the Associated Synagogues of Ottawa the shared Rabbis were Abraham H. Freedman, William Margolis, Oscar Z. Fasman, Emanuel Lifschutz and Simon L. Eckstein. Religious functionaries included the Reverend Louis Doctor, Cantor Jacob Dorskind, Rabbi Max Maser, Rabbi Aaron Weiss, Reverend Hyman Gertler and Reverend Jacob Y. Cement. In April 1940 the Rideau Street Shul welcomed its new Cantor, Reverend Aaron Weiss, from Breslau, Germany. The governing body of the congregation was a committee of elected officials who, after receiving a majority vote, served in their office for a period of one year. The 1933 Constitution stipulates that the committee was to include a President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and 15 trustees. In 1955-1956, Congregation Agudath Achim amalgamated with Congregation Adath Jeshurun to form Congregation Beth Shalom and their new synagogue on Chapel Street was dedicated in 1957. The closing service of Agudath Achim was held on August 25, 1956. Presidents of Agudath Achim: 1902-1903 Abrahm Kert 1903-1904 Elias Pullnan 1904-1910 Israel Sugarman 1910-1912, Henry Finkelman 1912-1914 Abramham Florence 1914-1916 Henry Finkelman 1916-1917 Abraham Brahinsky 1918-1919 Max Sachs 1919-1922 Abraham Florence 1923-1925 Samuel Spevak 1925-1927 Soloman Coplan 1927-1929 Abraham Florence 1930-1932 Thomas Sachs 1933-1934 Moses Doctor 1934-1936 Thomas Sachs 1936-1942 Samuel Berger 1942-1948 Michael Greenberg 1948-1950 Thomas Sachs 1950-1956 Hyman Soloway Vice Presidents of Agudath Achim: 1902-1905 Meyer Held 1905-1911 Abraham Sugarman 1911-1918 Samuel Cohen 1918-1919 Abraham Caplin 1919-1922 Moses Roodman 1922-1925 Sameul Cohen 1925-1926 Jacob Baker 1926-1929 Sameul Cohen 1929-1932 Moses Roodman 1932-1933 Selik Kronick 1933-1934 Sameul Cohen 1934-1937 Moses Roodman 1937-1939 Selik Kronick 1939-1956 Meyer Drazin Agudath Achim Sisterhood Presidents: 1913-1921 Mrs. A Florence 1921-1923 Mrs. L.

- Kalman asks Dora (Rosenberg) Lithwick (b. 1897) about her life from her earliest memories in Russia to her immigration to Ottawa, Canada as a married woman in 1923. She tells her detailed story in a lively, heavily accented voice. She recalls how hard they worked building up their grocery business in the market and explained that they were worn out by 1937. They decided to sell the business and move to Australia to be with her father and brothers and start a new life. However, life for a newcomer was more difficult than they imagined and after just one month they decided to return to Ottawa where they began investing in real estate. The recording ends with a story of how they purchased a property on Bank Street using a pedlar as an agent during the depression.
