- Dov Noy (1920-2013), renowned folklorist and ethnologist, was born on October 20, 1920 in Kolomyja, Poland. He immigrated in 1938 to Palestine, where he began his academic studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He obtained his doctorate in folklore from Indiana University in 1954 with a dissertation on the motif-index of Talmudic-Midrashic tales (under the name Dov Neuman).
- In 1955, he began his teaching career at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he taught aggadah, folk literature, general folklore, and Yiddish. He became professor and holder of the Max Grunwald Chair of Folklore and Hebrew Literature. From this post, he had a profound influence on the development of folklore studies in Israel, mentoring many students and colleagues to engage with folklore and ethnology. He taught and lectured all over the world, particularly on folk narrative and Jewish folklore. He founded and directed the Haifa Ethnological Museum and Folklore Archives (1956–82) and edited the Israel Folktale Archives Publications series until 1981. He founded the Israel Folktale Archives in 1955, now named after him. He was director of the Hebrew University Folklore Research Center from 1968 and edited its journal. He served as the Encyclopaedia Judaica departmental editor for folklore. He started the folklore section at Haifa University within the department of Hebrew Literature. From 1985 to 1992, he served as professor of Yiddish folklore at Bar-Ilan University. In 1992–93 he served as professor of folk literature at Ben-Gurion University and in 1995–96, professor of folklore at Haifa University. In addition to teaching in Israeli universities, Noy devoted himself to spreading Jewish folk culture all over the world. He also wrote and edited about sixty books, including English Folktales of Israel, Jewish Folktales from Morocco, and Studies in Biblical and Jewish Folklore. In 2004, he was awarded the Israel Prize for literary research. Biographies of Dov Noy can be found in the Encyclopedia Judaica, Encyclopedia of Jewish Folklore and Traditions (ed. Haya Bar-Itzhak), Who's Who In Israel and Jewish Personalities from All Over the World, and in the Hebrew Wikipedia.
- Scope and Content
- Fonds consists of audio reels, cassette tapes, and accompanying finding aids documenting Yiddish folk songs as recalled by Toronto residents. The recordings were made as part of a pilot project initiated by Professor Dov Noy while a visiting professor at University of Toronto. Participants were primarily residents at Baycrest's Jewish Home for the Aged. Participating organizations were the Canadian Centre for Folk Culture Studies at the National Museum of Man; the Eliakum Zunser Centre for the Study of East European Jewish Folklore at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem; and the Canadian Jewish Congress, Central Region. Fonds also includes various textual records produced during Dov Noy's research.
- Notes

- Mount Sinai Cemetery Association (MSCA) is responsible for providing services to the cemetery owners at Mount Sinai Memorial Park. Some of these services include grass cutting, grounds maintenance, and interment services. The beginning of Mount Sinai Memorial Park in 1934 is attributable to a non-Jew, Reuben Phillips. In 1934, he applied to the Ontario Department of Health to establish a cemetery for “members of the Hebrew faith.” After the registration of the cemetery was completed in 1935, Reuben became the first manager of the cemetery and started to subdivide the cemetery lands and sell sections to Jewish organizations. A management committee (MSCA), composed of delegates from the organizations owning cemeteries in Mount Sinai Memorial Park, was formed in 1943 to co-ordinate the management of the cemetery. The first president of MSCA was Louis Palter. In 1989, a new administration building was built.
- As of today (2022), Mount Sinai Memorial Park serves seventeen synagogues and organizations, including Beth Lida Synagogue, Beth Radom Congregation, Beth Sholom Synagogue, Canadian Hebrew Benevolent Society, Chevra Mishnais, Congregation Rodfei Sholom Anshei Kiev (Kiever Synagogue), Farband (JCMI), Independent Friendly Workers (JCMI), Jewish Canadian Veteran's Memorial Park Association (JCMI), Ozrower Mutual Benefit Society, Pride of Israel Sick Benefit Society, Shaarei Shomayim Congregation, Shaarei Tefillah Congregation, Sunnyside Cemetery Association, Toronto Independent Benevolent Association, Workmen's Circle (Arbeiter Ring), and Young Men's Hebrew Association (YMHA).
- Scope and Content
- Series consists of records documenting the administration and operational activities of Mount Sinai Cemetery Association. Included are meeting minutes, by-laws and regulations, financial statements, burial records, lists of delegates and executives, and documents and architectural drawings relating to the additions and alterations to the administrative building at Mount Sinai Memorial Park. Also present are a map of the memorial park and photographs featuring different cemetery sections and the opening ceremony of the new administration building in 1989.
