- Lipa (Louis) Green was born on 15 April 1899 in Usupow, Poland. He immigrated to Toronto in 1910 and later began work as a bricklayer. In 1924, he married Fanny Green and had three sons: Abraham (Al), Harold and Sam; and three daughters: Deana (Weiman), Rookie (Goldstein), and Shavy (Tishler). Green was a prominent Jewish communal leader in Toronto and was affiliated with organizations such as the Labor Zionists (Farband), the Jewish Vocational Service and the Jewish Public Library. The current building for Jewish agencies in Toronto is named the Lipa Green Building for Jewish Community Services. Lipa Green died in December 1976, at the age of 77.
- Arthur Weinstock was born in Poland on 10 May 1904. He was married to Lily (née Weinper) and had two daughters: Renée (Hardoon) and Temmy (Latner). He was instrumental in founding the Delight Dress Manufacturing Company, in later years known as Delight Textiles. Weinstock was active in supporting many Jewish organizations in Toronto. He was a founding member of the Toronto chapter of the Israel Bonds Prime Minister's Club, and was a member of the Toronto Bonds Board of Governors. Weinstock died in May 1976, at the age of 72.
