- History / Biographical
- Aaron Rosenthal was born in Lobsenz, Germany in 1831. At the age of thirteen, and by way of India and Ceylon he reached Australia. He was in Australia at the time of the 1859 gold rush and he was in the jewellery business for a number of years. He also met and married his wife Bertha Lehman there. Bertha Rosenthal (Lehman) was born in Berlin around 1850 and died in Ottawa in 1922. She was a Jewish communal leader and founded the Ottawa Ladies Hebrew Benevolent Society, became its president, and served in that capacity until her death. Her other charitable and philanthropic activities included the Perley Home for Incurables, the Ottawa General Hospital and the Disraeli Chapter of the IODE. She is also buried in the Shar Hashomayim cemetery in Montreal. The Rosenthals moved to Montreal by way of England in 1875 and settled in Ottawa in 1878. In 1871 Aaron Rosenthal set up a jewellery business. Around 1903, his four sons (Adolphe, Samuel, Martin and Harry) joined the business and the firm became known as A. Rosenthal and Sons Ltd. Since their arrival, the name Rosenthal in Ottawa has become synonymous with silver. Upon the death of Aaron Rosenthal on October 1, 1909, The Ottawa Evening Journal reported that “the Capital lost one of its best citizens and a man with active business interests of this city for the last 31 years." While Mr. Rosenthal died in Ottawa, he was buried at the Shar Hashomayim Cemetery in Montreal. Rabbi Herman Abramowitz officiated and said, “with his removal from our midst, there has been removed one of the old landmarks, as it were, in Canadian Jewry”.
