- History / Biographical
- Esther Dorsky (Dorskaya) immigrated from Russia in 1926. She was unmarried and probably came to Ottawa to join her cousin in the Evenchick family who had already settled in Ottawa. Archie Goldfield immigrated from Elizabetgrad, Kherson, Russia in 1899 with his parents Myer and Annie, his two brothers Ben and Charles, a sister Pearl, and his grandmother, also named Pearl Goldfield. Esther and Archie were married on April 1, 1928 by Rabbi Jacob Mirsky. Esther and Archie had no children. Initially, Archie opened a butcher shop with his father Myer and later went into business with his brother Charles. Esther similarly worked in her husband's shop. When the business was moved from Bank Street to the Byward market, Charles moved into the drover side of cattle while Archie continued the butcher shop and was active in the Jewish community. Charles’s sons, Morley Goldfield (m. Diane Aultschuler) and Jack Goldfield (d. October 9, 1991), worked in their uncle Archie's store on Saturdays and holidays in the 1940's. The Byward location, on Murray Street near Anglesea Square sold, among other products, hot dogs and smoked meats. They always had a stand at the annual Ottawa Exhibition. Charles’s wife Eva operated the Ottawa Kosher Catering Service until her sudden death in 1957. She was the only Jewish caterer in Ottawa for much of the time she was in business.
