Bertha Dinovitzer married Joseph Dinovitzer in 1901 and moved from Quebec City to live with him in Chicoutimi where he operated a successful general store, J. Dinovitzer & Cie. The Dinovitzers had four children and eventually moved to Montreal where Bertha became heavily involved with numerous organizations within the Jewish community such as Hadassah.
