History / Biographical: A.Z.A. was first chartered in 1924 under a Supreme Advisory Council located in Omaha, Nebraska. The movement was created as a reaction to the rising excess and lack of focus of youth in the post-war jazz age in the United States of America. The founders of A.Z.A. wanted to use Hebrew letters to define this new, national movement of young Jewish men of B’nai B’rith. The first Aleph represents Ahavoh (brotherly love), Zadik represents T’sdakah (benevolence) and the second Aleph represents Achdoos (harmony). The cardinal virtues and creed of A.Z.A. were Patriotism, Judaism, Filial Love, Charity, Conduct, Purity, and Fraternity. Abe Palmer was the founder of A.Z.A. in the 1930's in Ottawa. Two chapters were formed with growing membership over the years prior to World War II; The Moses Bilsky Chapter and the Dr. Maurice Brody Chapter. After the war, the Sid Slover Chapter was formed. Members between the ages of 16 and 21 paid dues, attended regular meetings and participated in Cultural, Religious, Social and Athletic programs. Alephs received crests, pins and a publication called “The Shofar”. When membership of a chapter reached 25, delegates were eligible to attend the yearly conference. One year, Milton Shaffer and Percy Feller hitch-hiked all the way to Washington D.C. to attend this event. As important as the conference was, it was the A.Z.A. Sweetheart Ball that most of the members looked forward to each year. As an A.Z.A. Sweetheart, one of Esther Rafel’s (Mrs. Matt Ages) responsibilities included finding dates for members who wanted one. A.Z.A. even had a form that members could fill out stating preferences for eye colour, height, dance style, etc. The Moses Bilsky chapter held a Parent's Day in May 1934 as a way to demonstrate filial love according to the "Ottawa Mazir", the chapter's first publication. Mothers received a rose, fathers a cigar and all attended a banquet in their honour. A 1944 convention program noted that the goal of A.Z.A. had changed from “directing the busy minds of young men to socially useful functions” to being geared towards the war effort. The program also stated that, “the seven virtues were anathema to fascism. Without democracy, A.Z.A. couldn’t exist. A.Z.A. stands for Benevolence, Brotherly Love and Harmony. Without victory, these ideals of democracy are unattainable.” When war was declared, all eligible men joined up from the Moses Bilsky chapter. This exceptional enlistment record was recognized by the Canadian government in a special booklet titled “Canadians All” in 1941. It is clear from the correspondence of the Moses Bilsky chapter that it was very difficult to keep membership going, especially in the executive positions as alephs were enlisting on a weekly basis. Sam Ages took over as Mazkir (secretary) of the Moses Bilsky chapter from Bernard Ginsberg in May 1942. One month later, he notified his superior that he had joined up too. The Dr. Maurice Brody chapter of A.Z.A. won the Regional Best Chapter award and the Herzl Trophy in 1944. This chapter held a “Nite of Nites Floorshow & Dance” in 1943 under the direction of Ralph Fonberg with proceeds going towards a Chinese Relief Fund. Ottawa chapters raised funds for an overseas mobile canteen under the fraternity’s name in memory of Mrs. A. J. Freiman, O.B.E. It took several months and many attempts to fundraise the $2,700.00 pledged to reach this war-time goal.

See Ottawa Journal article, Saturday August 30, 1941 about A.Z.A. members who were signed up for armed forces (copy in A.Z.A. box). 3. Mrs. Brenda Wolf donated the panoramic photograph of 16th National Convention. It belonged to her brother-in-law Herbert Wolf.

Fonds No.: R0001

Series No.: 4

History / Biographical: In the May 23, 1944 edition of the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin a call was made to parents to register their children with the Ottawa Hebrew Sunday School. It is not clear if this call eventually led to the regular feature of male birth announcements starting in 1946. It would appear that the published names were actually records of circumcision because it is noted in the September 25, 1946 edition that names of baby girls should be sent to the office of the Va'ad Ha'ir as according to the article the Bulletin had "no other way of securing them." This Series lists the names children born in Ottawa's Jewish Community as they appeared in birth announcements in the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin. Additional birth records have been added from the Beth Shalom Congregation's "Birth Cards." Listings originating from the Beth Shalom records are annotated with "(BSC)" or "(VAAD)"; listings without an annotation originate from Ottawa Jewish Bulletin Announcements.

Notes: 1. Source Ottawa Jewish Bulletin 2. 1948: Stephen Martin Rivers found in Ottawa Jewish Bulletin, December 7, 1948 3. Some information in source was added (written) in pencil
