- History / Biographical
- Abe Palmer, son of Moshe and Rose Palmer, was born at Billings Bridge, Ottawa. When he was ten or eleven, the family moved to Ottawa and he attended Rideau Street Public School. Bertha Palmer was born in Navazibkoff, White Russia and came to Ottawa in 1927 as a young woman of 16 or 17 years of age with her senior matriculations and a fine singing voice. SHe was sponsored by her uncle Louis Leiken who had come to Ottawa in 1910 with her father, Joseph Leiken. Bertha Palmer became the first UJA Women's Division chair in 1972. Abe Palmer was a successful businessman. Early in his business life he had a partnership with his cousin Abraham Held, in a business called Rideau Plumbing and Heating Limited. Then he established a wholesale plumbing and heating business called Palmer’s Plumbing and Heating Supply Limited. He sold this business in the 1960's to a Calgary firm called Westburn Industries Ltd. He was a “mover and shaker” in that industry and was the Plumbing Division Chairman of the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating. The Palmers were always active and highly respected in the Ottawa Jewish community and were among the founders of the Ottawa Modern Jewish School. Abe served two terms as chairman of Israel Bonds in the late 1960's and was President of the Jewish Community Council of Ottawa from 1970-1972.
- Notes
- 1. Family information from the Palmer’s daughter, Sunny Tavel, July, 2006. Her Uncle Louis and her grandfather Joseph Leiken came to Canada in 1910. Joseph died in 1914 and is buried in Ottawa. Bertha came with her sister-in-law Zena Leiken, and two nieces, Libby Katz of Ottawa and Ethel Kesler of Montreal. Zena, Libby and Ethel were sponsored by Harry Leiken. When Bertha arrived in Ottawa, she lived with her Uncle Louis.

- History / Biographical
- Abraham Lithwick (b. 1897 Ritziv, Russia - d. 1953 Ottawa) and Dora (Rosenberg) Lithwick (b. 1897 Rovno, Ukraine - d. January 30, 1980 Ottawa) arrived in Ottawa on July 8, 1921. They were among the large group of immigrants that fled Russia and its programs in the early 1920's. They operated, Lithwick's, a wholesale and retail store in the Byward Market for 12 years. In 1937, the entire family left Ottawa for Melbourne, Australia where Dora’s father, brothers and uncles had immigrated. Because of an epidemic of infantile paralysis, they returned to Ottawa 15 weeks after their initial departure. Another reason was the unexpected aspect that the Lithwicks would be starting again as immigrants in Australia and learning a new set of rules and regulations for business. Upon their return, Abraham Lithwick turned to real estate and became more involved in the Jewish community. He died in 1953 after a short illness. Shortly after, Dora Lithwick began working toward establishing a home for elderly Jewish people. In 1963, the sod was turned for Hillel Lodge on Wurtemburg Street. Dora Lithwick was a founder and first President of the Ottawa Jewish Home for the Aged. In 1975, she was instrumental in having a religious chapel added to the home and it carried the name Abraham and Dora Lithwick Beth Midrash.
- Notes
- 1. Dora’s father in Australia was working in real estate. 2. Interview with Dora Lithwick gives an excellent overview of shop life during the depression in Ottawa.

- Kalman asks Dora (Rosenberg) Lithwick (b. 1897) about her life from her earliest memories in Russia to her immigration to Ottawa, Canada as a married woman in 1923. She tells her detailed story in a lively, heavily accented voice. She recalls how hard they worked building up their grocery business in the market and explained that they were worn out by 1937. They decided to sell the business and move to Australia to be with her father and brothers and start a new life. However, life for a newcomer was more difficult than they imagined and after just one month they decided to return to Ottawa where they began investing in real estate. The recording ends with a story of how they purchased a property on Bank Street using a pedlar as an agent during the depression.
