History / Biographical
Bernard Lieff (b. unknown - d. 1941) migrated from the shtetl of Antopol, District of Grodno, Russia in 1903. “Like thousands of others, (Bernard) stole across the border into Germany... and then travelled by steerage to America.” He made his way to Kingston, Ontario, and then settled in Ottawa by 1904. After a few years peddling, Bernard Lieff became a teacher at the Ottawa Talmud Torah and also provided private tutelage. He studied at several Yeshivas in Russia and met his wife, Esther Malcah Pomerantz (b. 1881 - d. 1936), when tutoring Esther and her two younger sisters. He and Esther married in Russia in 1902. They had seven children; Abe, Louis, Bessie, Hy, Max, Morris and Joseph. All were born in Ottawa except Abe. Bernard Lieff had at least one brother, Moshe Hersh Lifshitz, who also lived in Ottawa. Bernard and his wife and children changed their surname from Lifshitz when a Lisgar Collegiate teacher shortened Abe's surname to Lieff in 1916. Rabbi Fasman delivered the eulogy for Bernard Lieff in the same classroom of the Ottawa Talmud Torah classroom, on George Street in Ottawa, in which Bernard had taught for 35 years. Meyer Lieff, a cousin, and Moses Palmer were partners in a scrap yard at corner of Sherwood and Ottawa Streets. Meyer Lieff officiated as parnass at Adath Jeshurun.
