- 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
- The first official meeting of Adath Jeshrun was held on December 9, 1891 with the express purpose of establishing an orthodox congregation for the growing Jewish Community of Ottawa. Congregation Adath Jeshrun was founded in 1892 when its first president, John Dover, received the official charter. John Dover, Abraham Kranf, Morris Adler, and Michael Fine served as the first official executive committee. During the 1891 meeting it was agreed that the congregation was to be overseen by a committee of elected officials which would make up the executive committee. Executive offices included a President, Vice-President, Secretary, and three Trustees with office terms of one year. The structure of the governing body of Adath Jeshrun continued in this manner for the duration of the congregation's existence, with minor alterations, as it gained additional members. The 1914 congregation by-laws show an expansion of the governing committee. The committee grew to include a President, Vice-President, Parnass, Treasurer, and 9 trustees. The by-laws also established a number of active committees including the Education, House, Choir, Membership, Seat, and Cemetery committees. In 1929 Chevra Kadisha societies were established and additional rules of decorum were added. The by-laws subsequently recorded the religious officials who were to serve as part of the congregation. Religious officials included Rabbi, Chazan, Assistant Chazan, Shamas, and a Choir Master. Between 1890 and 1895, religious services were conducted at the homes of Moses Bilsky and John Dover, or at the homes of the leading members of the day. In 1893 a plot of land was bought on the East side of King Street for the congregation. The first Adath Jeshurun Synagogue was housed in a small building at 264 Murray Street from 1895-1904. The corner stone for the new synagogue was laid July 25, 1904 by A. Rosenthal. The congregation later moved into the King Edward Street shul, located at 375 King Edward Avenue. The Synagogue Building Committee was chaired by Archibald Freiman, then only 21 years of age. He presided over the Congregation from 1904 until 1930. Wolfe Abelson was the vice president throughout the early part of the congregation's history, serving continuously from 1905 to 1930. In 1910 the Hebrew Institute was added with the establishment of the Talmud Torah Board of Education. In 1917 it was decided that the King Edward Institute, owned by the congregation, was to be leased in order to facilitate the amalgamation of all Talmud Torah's in the area. During the first half of the twentieth century the congregation of Adath Jeshrun served as the principal orthodox congregation of the Ottawa Jewish Community. When the Diamond Jubilee was celebrated in 1952, two of the original congregation members, Jacob Freedman and Bernard Smith, were part of the festivities. Ottawa-born David Petegorsky, Executive Director of the American Jewish Congress, was the guest speaker at the anniversary banquet. In 1956, Adath Jeshurun Congregation, along with Agudath Achim Congregation, joined together to form the Beth Shalom Congregation on Chapel Street. At this time the synagogue building became the Jewish Memorial Chapel, also known as the Chevra Kadisha. The congregations first Cantor and Shochet was Reverend Jacob Mirsky who served from 1892 until 1942, followed by Reverend Joseph Rabin (1929-1956), and Reverend Harry Weissbord (1944-1956). Rabbi Simon Fyne served from 1912 to 1920, followed by Rabbi Max Mintz (1924-1926), Rabbi Dr. Julius Leikin (1927-1928), Rabbi Nathan Kollin (1929-1932) and United Synagogue Rabbis Abraham H. Freedman (1931-1636), William Margolis (1937-1938), Oscar Z. Fasman (1940-1946), Emanuel L. Lifschutz (1946-1951) and Simon L. Eckstein (1952-?). Vice-Presidents included Wolf Abelson (1910-1923, 1925-1930), Samuel Katz (1923-1925), Laz Greenberg (1930-1937), Dr. Samuel Mirksy (1937-1938), Leon Petegorsky (1938-1942), Hyman Gould (1942-1948), Samuel Caplan (1948-1952), and Isidore Stone (1952-1956). Benjamin Pearl served as Congregation Secretary from 1912 to 1948 and was succeeded by Herman Roodman. Lillian Freiman established the Adath Jeshrun Sisterhood and served as its first president from 1910 until 1929. She was succeeded by Mrs. Slone (1929-1931). Subsequent Presidents were Mrs. S. Brodie (1931-1938), Mrs. M. Pearlman (1938-1940), and Mrs. S. Lepofsky (1940-1944), Mrs. G. Caplan (1944-1947), Mrs. L. Frieman (1947-1949), Mrs. H. Gould (1949-1952), Mrs. S.

- 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.
