- Biography
- Israel Weinberg was born in Krasnik, Poland in 1896 and immigrated to Canada in 1920. In 1922, he and David Sussman negotiated the purchase of the building for the Ostrovtzer congregation, which became the Anshei Ostrovtzer Synagogue. It was sold to the City of Toronto in the early 1960s.
- “My grandfather was largely responsible for negotiating the sale of the synagogue,” said Debra Friedman. “One of the stipulations was ensuring that various elements of the Ostrovtzer Synagogue remain[ed] in place — the chandelier, the white marble Hebrew founders’ date stone, the marble yahrzeit plaque and the corner stone.”
