The Ezras Noshem (Ladies' Aid) was founded on August 9, 1913, by Mmes. Cohn,
Miller, Spiegel and Adler. By May 1922, they had collected $12,000 to put a down
payment on a building destined to become Toronto's first Mount Sinai Hospital.
Dorothy Dworkin, seated centre, was one of four Ezras Noshem representatives on
the Hospital's inaugural Board of Directors. Mount Sinai Hospital opened in 1923.
"Communities and countries
and ultimately the world are
only as strong as the health
of their women."
