- Scope and Content
- Accession consists of 8 photographs and three letters addressed to Fannie Adelman from Berul Sugarman, as well as one recital program. The photographs depict:
- A young child, dressed in white, standing on a large chair and holding and violin and bow, likely Abie Sugarman
- An unknown child in a dark sweater with two buttons on the shoulder, standing in front of a small
table holding a violin at his side.
- A head-and-shoulders shot of a young man, likely Abie Sugarman, perhaps about age 8
or 9. A note in pencil on the back of this photo reads "A MERRY XMAS GREET your father and
mother and sister"
- A portrait of Abie Sugarman, perhaps about age 10 or 11, holding his violin as if to play, standing
beside a seated gentleman who might be his instructor Broadus Farmer
- A full-length portrait of Abie Sugarman holding his violin as if to play, about age 13
- A portrait of Abie Sugarman standing with his violin tucked under his right arm and his bow
hanging from his right hand, about age 13. There is a ring visible on his right hand
- A small head-and-shoulders photo of Abie Sugarman, perhaps in his late teens or early twenties
- A portrait of Fannie Adelman, taken in 1923 when she was 13 or 14, about two years after these
letters were written to her.
- The other items are: the programme of a recital given at The Hambourg Conservatory Recital Hall on Tuesday
June 21, 1921; a partial letter from Abie Sugarman to Fannie Adelman, dated June 29, 1921; a two-page letter
from Abie Sugarman to Fannie Adelman, undated; a four-page letter from Abie Sugarman to Fannie Adelman,
undated; a stamped empty envelope. It is believed by the donor that at least one of these letters was in this
envelope, and delivered by hand despite the stamp. All three letters were send from 240 Dundas St. West, where the Sugarman family was living at the time.
- Administrative History
- Berul Sugarman (Abram Berul Sugarman) was born to Jacob (Jake) and Annie (Starkman) Sugarman on
28 May 1908, in Toronto, where he lived for most but not all of his life. The Sugarman family appears to
have lived briefly in Welland; the Welland directory for 1919 includes a listing for "Jake Sugarman,
restaurant, west side of Main Street, house same." This would have been when Abie (he began calling
himself "Berul" later in life; he went by "Abie" in his younger years) met Fannie Adelman, older daughter
of Joseph Adelman and Baila (Moschiach, anglicised to Miller). Fannie was born in Montreal in 1909 and
moved to Welland with her parents and younger sister Minnie sometime after 1915.

- Accession consists of a portrait of Pearl Langer taken by Al Gilbert. There is a small metal tag beneath the portrait on the mat reads "Pearl Langer, founder and first president, Co-ordinated Services to Jewish Elderly, 1975-1978. In recognition of outstanding community service."
- Custodial History
- Portrait was donated by Fern Glicksman, who is Pearl Langer's niece.
- Administrative History
- Pearl Vera Langer (née Rosenberg) (1924–2002) was born in Toronto. She was the daughter of immigrant parents, Shainka and Joseph Rosenberg, who emigrated from Ivansk, Poland, to Toronto. Pearl had a sister named Ruth Glicksman (née Rosenberg) (1929–2024) and a half-brother named Nat Ross.
- On 23 May 1943, Pearl married Michael “Mair” Langer. They had two daughters together, Janis Carol Shifrin (née Langer) (1947–1996) and Sheri Langer. Michael Langer graduated from the University of Toronto, where he studied pharmacy. He started his career as an apprentice pharmacist and subsequently owned and managed multiple drug stores. Michael passed away in 2010.
- Pearl lived all her life in Toronto. She graduated from Harbord Collegiate and took multiple university courses.
- Pearl volunteered in various organizations including the National Council of Jewish Women of Canada. She developed an interest in and concern for the needs of the elderly and became a strong supporter of seniors, particularly in assessing the governmental services for the elderly and finding ways to enable them to remain in their homes instead of being placed in long-term care facilities. One of her most significant achievements was to establish Coordinated Services to Jewish Elderly in 1974, which is now recognized as Circle of Care. She was also instrumental in founding various Meals on Wheels and Meals to Wheels programs.
- Throughout her career, she served on several provincial and mayoral task forces addressing the increasing needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities. Notably, she contributed to Mayor David Crombie’s Task Force on the Handicapped and held positions on various boards. She was also active with the Canadian Jewish Congress, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, and the Jewish Federation of North America. Her expertise and experience made her a highly sought-after keynote speaker.
- Later on, Pearl became involved with the CBC program "From Now On" (1982–[1984?]), developed for the "over-fifty” demographic, as its co-host after initially acting as a consultant. She delved into research and government affairs and also interviewed notable figures such as Peter Ustinov and Maggie Smith. Following the program's cancellation due to budget constraints, she transitioned to become the on-air ombudsman for a new CBC morning show, where she remained for several more years.
- In 1975, appointed by the premier of Ontario, she was among the very first group of women in Ontario to be awarded a medal for the International Women’s Year.

- Administrative History
- Nathan Gittelmacher immigrated to Toronto from Kiev, Ukraine after the First World War. He first worked as a photographer at Empire Studios, and then in 1922, opened up his own studio, Elite Studios, at 615 Queen Street West. Many of Nathan’s portraits were produced with a large format view camera and from glass negatives.
- During the 1940s, the family changed its name to Gilbert and subsequently altered the name of the business to Gilbert Studios. Nathan’s son, Albert, who was born 18 November 1922, started working in the family business in 1941, when he was 19 years old. He eventually assumed control of it after his father retired. He moved the studio to Eglington Avenue and then later to Davenport Road, its current location, in order to accommodate its growing clientele.
- Al made a name for himself as a portrait photographer, using natural light in innovative ways to create more natural looking portraits. Al’s primary work involved producing portraits of families, weddings, bar mitzvahs, special events and dinners. Most of his early clients were from the Jewish community. In turn, he also was paid to produce portraits of local entrepreneurs, and his multi-year contract with the city, gave him sole responsibility for the production of portraits of the mayors and councilmen and women. He later branched out beyond the Jewish community, and began to produce images of businessmen and leaders from the Italian community in Toronto.
- n addition to the paid contracts involving local personalities and groups, Al Gilbert has also produced many artistic portraits of local, national and international celebrities, artists and leaders such as: Wayne and Shuster, Howie Mandel, Oscar Peterson, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Robertson Davies, several Canadian prime ministers as well as Prince Charles, all of the Israeli prime ministers, which were made into stamps by the Israeli government, and finally, the last Pope. Gilbert’s work therefore captures a huge range of individuals from the ordinary bride to extraordinary world leaders.
- Al has won many awards as well as accolades from his peers throughout his career. He is the three-time recipient of the prestigious Professional Photographers of Canada (PPOC) Photographer of the year honour. He has been named Fellow of the photographic societies in Canada, Britain and the United States. In 1990, he was awarded the Order of Canada and recently nominated for the Order of Ontario. In January 2007, the Professional Photographers of America presented him with their Lifetime Achievement Award. This award is the highest honor PPA can bestow on a person for their body of work and influence on professional photography.

The family lived at 26 Cecil Street at that time and then moved to 393 Markham Street during the late 1920s or early 1930s. He became active in the Jewish community, serving as vice-president of the Sons of Jacob, a board member of the Folks Fareign, and the first trustee of the Old Folks Home.

- Admin History/Bio
- Rabbi Benjamin J. Hollander was born in 1936 in New York City. He was the principal of the Beth Tzedec Congregational School during the early 1970s, until he was dismissed by Rabbi Stuart E. Rosenberg in 1972. This move led to the infamous lawsuit between the congregation's Board of Directors and Rabbi Rosenberg.
- Rabbi Hollander made aliyah in 1972 and has lived in Jerusalem since, spending some time in a Negev development town and a Gush Etzion community. Ordained at the Jewish Theological Seminary, Rabbi Hollander is affiliated with Conservative, Reform and Orthodox institutions in Israel and holds advanced degrees in literature and education from NYU and Hebrew University, respectively. A founding member of Rabbis for Human Rights, Rabbi Hollander has, since the 1970s, taught Jewish studies in Jerusalem at Hebrew Union College, Machon Schechter, the Hebrew University School for Overseas Students, and the Siegal (Cleveland) College of Jewish Studies. His field of specialization is Torah and classical commentary, which he learned, primarily, from the legendary Torah teacher, Nehama Leibowitz. He has also served as the weekly Torah commentator on Kol Yisrael radio and traveled the country as a tour educator. Over the past decade, Rabbi Hollander has regularly returned to North America as scholar-in-residence at Camp Ramah, as rabbi of alternative High Holy Day services at Congregation Beth Tzedec in Toronto and as teacher and speaker in over two hundred synagogues, communities, schools, and retreats.
