- History / Biographical
- Ralph Fonberg's parents came to Ottawa in 1905 under the sponsorship of Oscar Petigorsky. Ralph was born December 30, 1922. He attended Talmud Torah School on George Street and was a member of A.Z.A. He decided to join the army because his good friends Harry Glatt, Abe Morrison, S. Applebaum and Jack Gordon had joined up. He received basic training in Petawawa in 1941 and worked with a camouflage troop of the Royal Canadian Engineers. He was overseas for eight months and returned in 1944. The main activity of the troop was to go out on foot or motor cycle in advance of the front line and establish a position for headquarters. He did this in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Ralph Fonberg recalls a Dr. Talner who came to an A.Z.A. meeting to warn returning soldiers of the perils of sexual contact with "questionable women". He also recalled going to a convention in Toronto and one in Montreal with A.Z.A. He was very active at one time producing plays and skits with other A.Z.A. members. He continued working in theatre with David Slover and others in Ottawa.

- History / Biographical
- Ottawa Lodge 885 was officially founded in February 1921 with 25 members. It was the third Lodge formed in Canada after the rejuvenation of B'nai B'rith in Eastern Canada. The first presidents were Dr. Harry Dover, J. J. Marks and Benjamin Goldfield. It was also the first Lodge to sponsor a ladies’ auxiliary in Canada in about 1925. A local chapter of AZA was formed in 1932. The Ottawa Lodge also supported a Jewish Boy Scouts camp which was first located at Fitzroy Harbour, Ontario. It evolved into the first Ottawa B’nai B’rith summer camp for Jewish youth. Children who could not afford the camp fees were sponsored by the Lodge. In 1938 it was located at Dunrobin, Ontario and moved to Quyon, Quebec after WWII. The scout camp was sponsored by the Ottawa Lodge of B'nai B'rith but was run under the strict supervision of the District Boy Scouts Association. By the mid 1920's the Lodge established a Free Loan Association and was contributing annually to the support of an orphanage in Turkey. In the 1940's Ottawa Lodge put their full support behind the war effort. During World War II, every eligible AZA member went on active duty. This accomplishment was noted in the government folder “Canadians All”. After the war it set up a citizenship committee to help veterans reintegrate themselves into society. The Ottawa Lodge was also active in fundraising and charity. It offered scholarships at Carleton and Ottawa Universities. It also provided buses for outings for seniors and disadvantaged children. The Lodge gave tributes and awards to individuals who had played a significant role in shaping Canadian society. Past recipients include James Durrell, Allan E. Gotlieb and Gordon Henderson. Parliament Lodge 2159 was founded in November 1957, mainly by former AZA members (see 4-730). Confederation Lodge 2429 was organized in 1963. Its membership was comprised mainly of civil and public servants. It merged with Ottawa Lodge in 1968. Bytown Lodge 3061was formed in May 1977.

- Ralph Fonberg's parents came to Ottawa in 1905 under the sponsorship of Oscar Petigorsky. Ralph was born December 30, 1922. He attended Talmud Torah School on George Street and was a member of A.Z.A. He decided to join the army because his good friends Harry Glatt, Abe Morrison, S. Applebaum and Jack Gordon had joined up. He received basic training in Petawawa in 1941 and worked with a camouflage troop of the Royal Canadian Engineers. He was overseas for eight months and returned in 1944.

- Joe Viner
- History / Biographical
- Joe Viner was born in Ottawa November 30, 1925. His paternal grandparents came to Ottawa from Russia with eight of their children in 1913. Joe Viner's mother (Clara Halpern) was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her parents came from the Austria/Hungary area and immigrated first to Winnipeg and then moved to Ottawa to open a Kosher butcher shop. Joe's father owned a grocery store at Booth and Primrose (225 Booth Street) during the depression. He always had enough to eat because of the store which sold fruit and vegetables. He also peddled fruit and vegetables in Aylmer, Quebec and bought junk within a 60 mile radius of Ottawa and sold it to various local junk dealers. He has memories of going to school and doing homework while watching the store in the evenings. Sundays were the times he played softball with the Jewish boys in the West End, or went by streetcar to the A.Z.A. meetings. During the summer holidays, he used to help his father in the truck when they went to Aylmer to collect scrap for resale. Joe Viner joined the A.Z.A. at age 14. He recalls Irving Aaron, Harry Weltman, Harry Cogan, Joe Osterer, Chick Taylor, Jack Cooper, Syd Kronick, David Loeb, John Greenberg, Willie Zelnick, Jake Cranzberg, Dave Edelson, Seymour Klein, Ezra Cohen who were also members of this B'nai B'rith organization. They held the meetings at the old Talmud Torah building on George Street and had advisors like the late Syd Slover (killed in the Second World War) and the late Justice Honourable Abraham H. Lieff. Joe Viner wanted to be in the air force as part of the air crew. When he joined early in 1944, the only air crew training available was for tail gunners, so that was his only option. Joe completed his basic training in Toronto and then went to Assiniboia, Saskatchewan for initial training as tail gunner. Training was suspended for tail gunners because there were not enough planes. As a trained stenographer and typist, he was put to work in the office and hospital until he was sent back to Ottawa and discharged. Joe went back to high school and obtained enough credits within 6 months to enter Queen's University in the fall of 1945. He graduated from Queen's with a Bachelor of Commerce in 1948 and went to New York to become a retail executive trainee. He spent 3 years in New York and came back to marry Ruth Macy on March 11, 1951 at Agudath Israel Synagogue in Ottawa. They spent their honeymoon in Montreal getting a visa for Ruth to live in the U.S.A. Two weeks after getting back to New York, Joe received a draft call for the Korean War. With advice from the Canadian embassy the Viner's returned to Canada and a deferment was granted. Joe then obtained an executive position with Freiman's where he stayed until 1965 when he entered the real-estate business. In 1969, he started Levinson-Viner Ltd. with Jacie Levinson. He retired in 1996.
