History / Biographical
Canadian Jewish Congress was founded in Montreal in March 1919. "The Parliament of Canadian Jewry," CJC was constituted as the democratically elected, national organizational voice of the Jewish community of Canada, serving as the community's vehicle for defence and representation. Committed to preserving and strengthening Jewish life, CJC acted on matters affecting the status, rights and welfare of the Canadian Jewish community, other Diaspora communities and the Jewish people in Israel. CJC combatted antisemitism and racism, promoted human rights, fostered interfaith, cross-cultural relations and worked towards tolerance, understanding and goodwill among all segments of society in a multicultural Canada. The organization spoke on a broad range of public policy, humanitarian and social-justice issues on the national agenda that affected the Jewish community and Canadian society at large. Through its charitable operations, CJC provided domestic and international relief aid on a non-sectarian basis, following natural disasters and to isolated Jewish communities in need. The Archives department also fell under the mandate of CJC Charities Committee. In 1999 the CJC national office relocated to Ottawa, with three regional CJC offices (Quebec, Ontario and Pacific), as well as affiliated offices across the country. CJC ceased operations in July 2011, when it was absorbed into the newly-created Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), along with the Canada-Israel Committee, the Quebec-Israel Committee, National Jewish Campus Life and the University Outreach Committee. CJC and its charitable wing were formally disbanded in late 2015. Since that time the CJCCC National Archives, renamed the Alex Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives as of January 2016, functions under the aegis of Jewish Federations Canada UIA.
Custodial History
Both the national headquarters and the Quebec Jewish Congress (formerly Quebec Region, Eastern Region) offices of the Canadian Jewish Congress were located in Montreal until 1999, when most of the national office relocated to Ottawa. The National Archives is the repository of records created and received in these offices. The collection also includes materials from the National Office in Ottawa, as well as the national records of Manuel Prutschi, Bernie Farber, and other national departments based in Toronto and Vancouver. The regional offices of Canadian Jewish Congress outside Quebec are little represented in the collection, aside from correspondence from across the country and certain publications which were addressed to the national office.
Notes
General note: The number of paper records in this collection is subject to change, due to additions to Documentation Series Z as well as the ongoing weeding of duplications. Most of the material was created after 1919, with the exception of Series Z, which includes photocopies and a small number of originals dating back as far as 1765.

History / Biographical
Moses Bilsky was born in Kovno, Lithuania in 1829. He married Pauline Reich in Brooklyn, New York in 1874 and resided in Ottawa for most of his married life, with the exception of a few years in both Mattawa, Ontario and Montreal, Quebec. He died in Ottawa on January 4, 1923. Pauline died December 3, 1928. He had an adventurous early life traveling to the Caribou gold fields of British Columbia in 1862, then to San Francisco on horseback and flirting with gun-running to Mexico. By 1878, Moses Bilsky was operating as a pawnbroker in Ottawa. Within two years, he has relocated to Mattawa, and between 1885 and 1891 he worked as a merchant and pawnbroker in Montreal. Sometime in 1891, he moved back to Ottawa and began a successful watch, clock, and jewellery business. He participated fully in Jewish community life and is credited with acquiring the city’s first Torah scroll from New York. He was also a founder of Ottawa’s first synagogue, Adath Jeshurun in 1892. “Mr Bilsky’s funeral was one of the largest ever held in Ottawa and during his long residence there, he shared the universal respect of the entire community, both Jewish and Christian”. He had a large family with 11 children - three of Bilsky’s sons-in-law became prominent; A. J. (Archie) Freiman married his daughter Lillian, who became successful in her own right, and established a large department store, as well as served as president of the Zionist Organizations of Canada. Abraham Jacobs of Montreal married his daughter Rebecca, and became a Member of Parliament. Allan Bronfman of Winnipeg married his third daughter Lucy, and was a lawyer, industrialist and community activist.

History / Biographical
Maurice Pollack (January 28, 1885 - December 16, 1968) was a Canadian merchant and philanthropist. Born in Kanele, Kiev, in Ukraine, he arrived in Canada in 1902, and settled in Quebec City, where he opened a department store at the age of 20 years, in the Saint-Roch district of Québec City. M. Pollack Ltd. became one of the largest retail companies in the region and Maurice Pollack was one of Quebec's major philanthropists. In 1942 Quebec MP Louis St-Laurent asked Maurice Pollack to set up a factory to make uniforms for Quebec postal workers during wartime. All the profits from the making of these uniforms resulted in the Maurice Pollack Foundation. Maurice and Rivka (Tarantour) Pollack (born 1890) had three sons; the oldest was Samuel, born 1911, a doctor by profession, married to Nettye Steinberg, daughter of Lazarus and Sophie Steinberg of Joliette QC. Their children were Stuart and Lana; Second son Isadore (Ezekiel) was born in 1913 and became a lawyer. Charles, born 1919, first ran the store and later became a businessman in Philadelphia.

History / Biographical
The National Council of Jewish Women was established in the United States in 1893, to help new Jewish immigrants. A Canadian branch began in Toronto in 1897. In Montreal the Baron de Hirsch Institute covered immigrant aid at that time, and the Montreal NCJW chapter was only founded in 1918. The International Council was formed in 1912. NCJW is dedicated to furthering human welfare in the Jewish and general community, locally, nationally, and internationally. They do and did so through scholarships, summer camps, libraries, aiding immigrants, volunteer work, pre-and post-war refugee aid, gerontology research, services to the elderly, support of the Golden Age Association, shipments of play and school materials to Israel and North Africa, lobbying for equal pay and other human rights bills, and opening a shelter for battered Jewish women. Their members across Canada and the world both fundraise and volunteer.The National office of NCJW Canada moved from Montreal to Toronto in the mid-1950s before settling in Winnipeg in the early 1990s where it remained until 2015.

History / Biographical
Jewish Immigrant Aid Services was established during the first Plenary Assembly of the Canadian Jewish Congress, in 1919. The need to settle Jewish post-World War I immigrants became apparent at this time, but the community organizations established in part for this purpose, such as the Baron de Hirsch Institute, were overwhelmed by the flow of Jews into Montreal and the rest of Canada. Thus JIAS, an organization devoted solely to helping immigrants, was founded. Since 1919, Jewish immigrants to Canada have depended on this organization during their period of adjustment to this country. The JIAS intervenes with the government on behalf of current and prospective immigrants, helps to locate housing and jobs, and organizes language and citizenship classes. JIAS assists new immigrants in following the proper application procedures, provides counselling, and offers a directional service to community resources. JIAS also makes submissions to the authorities on all matters affecting Jewish immigration to Canada, jointly with the Canadian Jewish Congress. The national office moved from Montreal to Toronto in the 1990s. In 2008 the Montreal office of JIAS merged with two other Jewish social service agencies under the name Agence Ometz.

History / Biographical
Ita Aber was born in Montreal, in 1932 and grew up in a family dedicated to Zionist and charitable causes. She later moved to New York, where she made her name as an artist. As described in a 2001 article; "Ita Aber is an artist who delights in unconventional formats that provide unique and startling insights into Jewish Life. Her work is found in almost every major Jewish museum throughout the world. She is a master of the fabric arts, which is by its very nature, an interdisciplinary field. As practiced by Ita Aber, the fabric arts explode in scale to include the diverse skills of embroidering, beadwork, sewing, appliqué, silkscreen, jewelry design, weaving, painting, sculpture, and assemblage. The stunning range of her talents is reflected in the vast array of work and Judaic objects she has produced, from wall hangings, jewelry, and sculpture to Torah covers, etrog boxes, and Purim masks." Ita Aber is also known as a conservator of textiles, an art historian, a curator, teacher, and the author of The Art of Judaic Needlework: Traditional and Contemporary designs (Scribner 1979).

Scope and Content
The collection includes Israeli documents and numerous photographs dating from 1946 through the 1960s attesting to Moshe Sadeh's experiences in the Palmach, the Israeli army, on kibbutz, in the Israeli Freemasons, and as an employee of the Dan Hotel, including its two year contract in Rangoon, Burma. The earliest photographs, from 1946, show life and friends in Abu Kir, a hachsharach / Zionist kibbutz training farm in Egypt. The Canadian documents and news articles relate to committee activities such as Magen David Adom, the Canadian Zionist Federation, the Sephardi Federation, and an Association of Egyptian-born Montrealers. There are also examples of letters to the editor and other writings, many of them autobiographical. A small notebook details Sadeh's impressions during a B'nai Brith trip to Germany led by Frank Diamant in the 1990s, on the theme of the country's refusal to grant citizenship to Turkish immigrants. Among the later photographs are numerous views of Montreal B'nai Brith events, as well as pictures of Moshe Sadeh with the mayor of Cote-St-Luc, and the Israeli Ambassador. A few pictures of Moshe and his wife Shelley, as well as pictures taken at his business are also included. There is 1 DVD reated by the USC Shoah Foundation: The Institute for Visual History and Education consisting of an interview with Moshe Sadeh (2015).

History / Biographical
Born in Egypt in 1928, Moshe (Maurice) Sadeh (originally Sadi, then Saadi) was from a Sephardic family that had immigrated from Smyrna, Turkey in the early 1920s. The family spoke Ladino, and then French, in Cairo. He trained for aliyah on a Hachsharah farm in Alexandria, and, after having illegally made aliya to the Land of Israel at the age of seventeen, served in the Palmach before and during the Israeli war of Independence. He served again in the Israeli army (IDF) from the early 1950s until 1955, when he began working for the Dan Hotel in Israel. He was co-founder of Kibbutz B'ror Ha'yil in the Northern Negev, whose group was formed by HeHalutz from Egypt. He later lived on a moshav. After immigrating to Montreal in 1964 he founded a textile import company. In Montreal he was active and on the executives of many Zionist and Jewish organizations in Montreal, among them Canadian Magen David Adom for Israel, the Zionist Federation, the Sephardi Federation, the B'nai Brith League of Human Rights, and AJOE (association des Juifs originaires d'Egypte). He was a frequent commentator on current affairs, particularly with regard to Israel and the Arab world. He died in Montreal in October 2018. (Biography based on details from Shelley Corrin and from his obituary in the Montreal Gazette, October 9, 2018.)
