  • Memorial– A beautiful monument was installed in 2015 at the Jewish Community Cemetery on Bank Street, honouring those brave men of the Ottawa Jewish Community who fought and lost their lives in war. The three panel granite monument lists Ottawa community members who served and fell in the Great War, World War II, Israeli War of Independence and while on active duty with the Israeli Army. This engraved marble plaque was first installed in the James Street Shul then moved to Beth Shalom. With the closing of the Chapel Street synagogue, the plaque was moved to Kehillat Bat Israel in their main foyer. photo Irving Osterer, Ottawa Jewish Archives
