April 29, 2010
I’m very pleased to extend my congratulations to Phil Rosenshein and Ben Sauder as they are honoured by the annual Negev Dinner. As someone who is fiercely proud of her local community and her national heritage, I am always thrilled to recognize and salute these qualities in others. They are part of what make our nation, and our city, so strong and so resilient. As I write, we’re not long past the celebration that Jews and Christians share so profoundly, Pesach and Easter. As I reflected on this, I came across some words from Rabbi Daniel Green that spoke powerfully to me. He begins, remarkably enough, with a reflection on matzah! And then he writes: “Pesach teaches us one essential lesson in life: Hardship can and must be transformed into opportunity. Life’s challenges have the ability to either crush us or catapult us to entirely new dimensions. Matzah is the quintessential symbol of freedom precisely because we learned from our hardship. Not only were our shackles of bondage unchained, but those dark moments of our past became our springboard of strength for the future. We emerged with a unique perspective and were able to truly appreciate and fight for goodness. This inner strength and resilience has come to define the Jew throughout the ages.” As the Member of Provincial Parliament for Hamilton Mountain, let me offer my gratitude, Phil and Ben, that you have contributed so much to the strength and resilience of our community over the years, and to join with the Jewish National Fund of Hamilton in honouring your long history of support.

hey met as children at the Ferguson Avenue synagogue over eighty years ago, a fateful encounter kindling a friendship that has endured throughout the decades and grown stronger with time. Phil and Ben both proud to call Hamilton their home, devoted family men, successful businessmen, avid golfers, dedicated leaders in the Jewish community, and both strong supporters of Israel. They are the people who don’t say “Let me know if there is anything I can do to help”, but rather when need is there, say “I’m ready to help let’s get started”. Phil and Ben have never hesitated to roll up their sleeves for a worthy cause. Over the years, countless organizations have benefitted significantly from their enthusiasm, devotion, and many talents. These two pillars of the community have always understood the concepts of Tzedeka and Tikkun Olam and that is how they continue to live their lives. The world is truly a better place because of them.

A biography of
Phil Rosenshein The son of Orthodox parents, Phil Rosenshein was born in Poland in 1922. He and his family came to Canada the following year and settled in Hamilton. ↑ Phil at the Wailing Wall,1987
Phil continues to spend his life involved in the Jewish community. As a young man of nineteen, he met Rose Brooks at a United Jewish Appeal dance, two years later in 1943 they were married, and in 1944 their daughter Louise was born. Today Phil and Rose are the proud grandparents of three grandchildren, their lives further blessed with the arrival of a great-granddaughter twenty years ago.

Phil continues to spend his life involved in the Jewish community. In 1942 Phil entered the work-force by taking a job in an auto parts store. By 1947, after just a few years in the business, Phil opened his own store — Midtown Auto and Home Appliance — in Hamilton. Through hard work and perseverance Phil built a very successful business, opened a second store in Brantford, then a third in Kitchener. In 1973 Phil decided to sell out to a larger company and become semi-retired. During that time, Phil invested in Effort Trust with Dr. Arthur Weisz. Around that same time, he bought a property in West Hollywood Florida where he could begin to enjoy some of his well-deserved free time on some of Florida’s beautiful golf courses. Over the years, Phil has always enjoyed fishing. In the early years on Lake Erie catching perch — and later on in Georgian Bay catching Northern Pike. He

Already over 2,500 hectares of green areas have been planted and it is expected that this area will double in size by 2018. The plants include a mixture of eucalyptus, and broad-leafed trees such as plum, carob, acacia and terebinth.

2010 JNF_FrontEndv-PP_Layout 1 5/17/10 4:31 PM Page 49
In the central area of the park there will be a lawn suitable for community gatherings and events, featuring a round stage. The central path through the park will be paved with stone, while the other paths will be coated with asphalt. KKL-JNF assigns particular importance to the nurturing and support of peripheral communities around Israel. The aim is to improve the quality of life, retain the younger generation, and attract newcomers. This project will enhance the sense of civic pride and provide space where residents of all backgrounds can mingle and enjoy their leisure and recreation time. The Hillel Landsman Park in Hatsor HaGelilit will enhance the community by providing its residents with a muchneeded centre for recreational activity.
Many thanks to all supporters of the 2010 Hamilton Negev Dinner who have helped turn this dream into reality.

The Jewish National Fund of Hamilton would like to express its gratitude to those very special people and organizations without whose help, the Negev Dinner would be nearly impossible to accomplish. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the following who have worked so diligently or provided services to make this evening a success.....
Israel Vukmir – The State of Israel is richer because of the efforts of those like Israel Vukmir. He gives of himself without question and is fully committed to the Land of Israel. Lorne Gaffe and Hamilton Store Fixtures – Lorne and his staff provide a safe place for our Negev Dinner dishes. They help us keep track of inventory and shipping to the Negev Dinners in Hamilton, Windsor, and to other venues for special occasions. Violet Byl at Effort Trust – Violet gives generously of her time coordinating and arranging venues for our telethons, and providing security duty to the office after-hours. Mark Draak and Wide Eyed Communications – flowers abound in the wide eyes of their creative minds. The ideas continue to flourish and flow in abundance. Irene Gaudet and Chef Alan – and the Hamilton Convention Centre for consistently delivering excellent food and guest-services. Jennifer Howe – of Perfect Sphere Productions never says 'no', and for whom no challenge is too great. Jennifer masters the agenda of the 'Dinner' in addition to her numerous other responsibilities. Telav Communications – for their ever-reliable AV support. Dave Katz & Sam MacBeath – the many aspects of our 'dinners' are largely taken for granted. Much work goes into transporting, sorting and assembling dinnerware for large numbers of dinner guests. Dave and Sam provide expert handling of such tasks. Charles Kravetsky – is meticulous and dedicated to koshering the kitchen in which our 'dinners' are made. It is Charles' responsibility to ensure that all of our food and its preparation adheres to the laws of Kashrut. Lawrence Yanover – providing expert photographic services, capturing the visual essence of our Negev Dinner and the tribute to our honourees. Eric Lynes – Biltmore Hats - upon our request to provide hats for our decor, simply and without hesitation - delivered them to us. … and our team of dedicated volunteers whose names appear elsewhere in this book. It is reassuring to know that so many share our special love for Israel and the Jewish National Fund.
The leadership of the JNF also acknowledges the two extremely committed women who work in our JNF office: Sonia Jacob; our Administrative Coordinator who manages to deal with so many aspects and challenges of the job always with elegance and calm, and; Roberta Katz; our Office Assistant who is always positive, pleasant, helpful, and puts everyone at ease. KOL HAKAVOD AND TODAH RABAH!!
