As a young feminist-minded about how damaging the traditional Jewish person, I was conscious that it seemed narrative about intermarriage has been and marrying someone Jewish was the only continues to be. Jewish communities are criteria people cared about. I had met many driving away droves of people because of Jewish men who did not treat their spouses this narrow-minded stance. I am proud to well and thought it was strange that people serve Oraynu as an intermarried rabbi (the weren’t encouraging me to marry a good only one in Canada!) because I know we are person, a thoughtful person, a generous doing the right thing when we say honestly person; only a Jewish person would do and and truly that we celebrate all marriages and nothing else seemed to matter. all families and welcome everyone who wishes to be part of our family.

  • Men Who Built the Beach: the Price Brothers Homes and Other Stories
    Men Who Built the Beach: The Price Brothers Homes and Other Stories Adapted from a Talk for the Beach and East Toronto Historical Society On 22 October 2019* Paul Warner * New information, from informed Beach residents and newly-found Price cousins, came to light during and in the days following the talk. Some of it has been incorporated into this text, and some appears in the footnotes. – PW 2 When I decided to call tonight’s talk Men Who Built the Beach, I had four men in mind. The first, the central character, is this man, Joe Price, my great grandfather. And I’m going to call him Joe, rather than Joseph, because that’s what it seems he preferred to be called. Joe’s sons, Leslie (on the left) and Earl (on the right), are the main supporting characters. These two gentlemen are the Price Brothers. 3 The fourth man I was thinking of is James Henry Stevens, who was Harry to his friends and co- workers. He’s not family, but his role in all of this was every bit as important as that of my Price ancestors. Together, these men were the Beach’s most important developer in the first half of the twentieth century. At the peak of their success, they were also its most important landlord. They didn’t build houses to sell them. Their business model was to build and rent. What the Price Brothers are most known for are the rows and rows of fourplexes, sprinkled with a handful of duplexes, that they built south of Queen Street between 1927 and 1930.
