Administrative History
Sydney Bendahan was born and raised in English speaking Gibraltar before coming to Casablanca, Morocco at the age 13. He spoke English, French and Spanish. He was the first representative of the Moroccan Jewish community in Toronto to JIAS and president of the Magen David congregation. Magen David Sephardic Congregation's first location was a home converted into a synagogue across the street from the Labour Farband Zionist Building (which had housed their initial meetings until they had their own building). As of 2016 the Congregation is located at 10 McAllister Road.

Joseph Gary and Goldie Gary (née Lawrence) married in 1921 in Rochester, N.Y. Shortly thereafter they moved to Toronto. Joseph and Goldie had three children; daughters Ethel (Halter) and Shirley (Cohen), and son Leslie. In 1950, after three years of visiting the region, Joseph and Goldie purchased a home on Amelia Street in Pontypool, ON. As the area was a popular summer resort spot for vacationing Jews from the 1940s to the 1960s, Joseph and Goldie decided to build 10 cottages on their land for rental, which they named Gary's Cottages. The cottages were sold around 1970 and are no longer in existence, however their home is still standing.
Mrs. Burke owned a farm near the pond in Pontypool. Joseph and Goldie rented a room from her in the summer of 1947 while they looked for a home to purchase in the town.
