Admin History/Bio

Alomis, together with her husband Aleksander Azro, was a founding member of the Vilner Trupe (Vilna Troupe, named for the city where it began), the critically acclaimed Polish Yiddish theatre company created during the First World War. The creation of the Vilner Trupe was a direct response to the call from Europe’s great Jewish intellectuals for an artistic, literary, modern Yiddish theatre that would not simply entertain (that was the job of the popular Yiddish theatre), but would elevate the form to a national art addressing the highest cultural aspirations of the Jewish people. Azro and Alomis performed and toured throughout the 1920s, gracing Yiddish stages all over Eastern and Western Europe and across America. When in Toronto, Asro and Alomis stayed with Dorothy and Henry Dworkin, who ran Dworkin Travel and helped bring hundreds of Jewish immigrants to Toronto. Dorothy was a healthcare professional who in 1922 founded Mount Sinai Hospital; her husband Henry founded the Labor Lyceum in 1913.

Admin History/Bio

Sam was born on April 11, 1921 to Harry and Jennie. He married Lillian Pearlstein and they had three children named Shari, Noah and Alane.

Harry and Jennie Shopsowitz started the family business, Shopsy's Delicatessen, in 1921. The first location was on Spadina Avenue at Dundas Street and was initially an ice-cream parlour, although they quickly converted it into a delicatessan in 1922. Shopsy's became an institution in the city where the likes of Bob Hope, Al Waxman, Dennis Hull and Scotty Bowman were regular customers. Harry's three sons took over the business in 1947. The brothers, Sam and Israel, expanded the business by packaging and distributing their hotdogs and corned beef to grocery stores. Sam Shopsowitz, the more gregarious of the two brothers, was known as the "Corned Beef King".

Sam Shopsowitz's affiliations included: founding member of YW-YMHA; executive crew of the Varsity Club of Ontario; Honorary Director, St. Alban's Boys Sports Club; Honorary Member, Ontario Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association; and member of, Associated Hebrew School of Toronto, B'nai B'rith, Herzl Zion Club, and Palestine Lodge.
