Interview with I. Freedman by R. Ormerod May 17, 2004

In my time, there was never a Rabbi. We had Rabbis who came in - but they? We hired them for the holy days and they would come. And we would bring them in, and then we would keep them here until after Yom Kippur was over, the holiest day, and then they would go.

We never had a full time Rabbi. And when we had ?there was a Rabbi in Timmins. And as I recall they may have called on him to do funeral services - to do everybody in the area. Because as I say, if there was a funeral everybody knew it in five minutes because they were all related.
