Shirley and Hilton Silbergc/o Jewish National Fund of Hamilton105 Main Street E., Suite 908Hamilton, On L8N 1G6

Dear Mrs. and Mr. Silberg,

As the Member of Parliament for Hamilton Centre, I am proud to send my congratulations to you for being honoured at this year’s Annual Negev Dinner.

Since you arrived in Canada in 1977, you have made a tremendous impact on our community. Through your work as pharmacists and business owners, theHealth Matters show, your extensive support for the Jewish National Fund, orthe many hours volunteered at Shalom Village and many other organizations,causes and charities, your efforts have made this community a better place, andthe recognition by the JNF at this Negev Dinner is certainly well-deserved.

Elie Wiesel, writer, activist, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate, wrote, “This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century – solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their ownidentity but by that of others.”

It is in that noble spirit that you have given us so much, and we thank you for it.

Congratulations again on this timely recognition.

Sincerely,

David Christopherson, MP Hamilton Centre.

Friends,

On behalf of all of us at Temple Anshe Sholom, it I my pleasure toextend our warmest greetings and a hearty mazal tov to Shirley andHilton Silberg for their well deserved honour at the 2009 Jewish NationalFund Negev Dinner.

It states in Sefer Hasidim that, “when a community does not appreciate agood leader, they get a weak leader.” The Hamilton Jewish communityhas an honourable history of fostering strong communal leadership. TheJewish National Fund, through its annual Negev Dinner, helps us torecognize and appreciate that leadership, both of the JNF itself and thecommunity at large. Certainly the Silbergs, through their outstandingcontributions to the JNF, the JCC, Beth Jacob Synagogue, ShalomVillage and many other communal organizations, epitomize the strengthof spirit and depth of commitment that defines good, strong leadership.Our community is blessed to have then among us. May they be blessedfor all they accomplish on our behalf.

Yasher koach to the Jewish National Fund of Hamilton for anothersuccessful event, and, as we celebrate Israel’s 61st anniversary, we pray thatall of your efforts grow from strength to strength.

L’Shalom,

Dear Lorraine:

It is my pleasure to congratulate Shirley and Hilton Silberg on behalf ofHamilton’s Out of the Cold on being the 2009 Negev Dinner Honorees.

For nine years, Shirley has been a committed and valuable volunteer cook for our food and shelter program which each year serves thousands of guests who otherwise would not be able to meet their basic needs. Her education and expertisein the fields of nutrition and pharmacology are called upon often and her willingness to do just about anything to maintain our standards and meet our challenges in a jovial manner and distinctive accent is simply inspiring! Shirley has even enlisted Hilton who now gives of his time doing late night security shiftswatching over our homeless guests.

The Silbergs’ involvement brings them great satisfaction and also is a testimony to their commitment to strengthening our larger community.

With warmest wishes for continued good health and acts of “chesed” (kindness),

Cindy Richter, CoordinatorHamilton Out of the Cold

The impossible willtake a little longer.”

TheProjectYairVisitors’ Centre

Near Moshav Hatseva, in the central

Arava, some 25km south of the Dead

Sea, there is a major Research and

Development Station called Yair. It is

one of a network of agricultural R&D

stations developed and supported by

KKL-JNF and Israeli government

ministries throughout the country.

THE PROJECT

at the Yair Research &Development station

Visitors’ CentreA

Centre for Agricultural Tourism at the Yair Station

The proceeds from this evening’s dinner in tribute toShirley and Hilton Silberg will be used to convert oneof the hothouses at the station into an agriculturaltourism centre for visitors travelling the Arava highway.Facilities will include an auditorium, a cafeteria,meeting space, displays of agricultural products fromthe region, and explanations of the R&D workundertaken in the region. There will also be a specialsection devoted to KKL-JNF agricultural R&D activitiesin general, and those at the Yair Station in particular.Tours from the centre will take visitors to thegreenhouses where they will show visitors howhothouse farming is done.

KKL-JNF established the Yair R&D Station in 1986.The research activities are undertaken jointly by KKL-JNF researchers, Ministry of Agriculture advisers,Volcani Institute scientists, commercial companies, andmarketing organizations. However, the fascinating andpioneering work at Yair Station has remained largelyunknown to the general public. The Visitor Centre will

showcase the work done at the Station, its researchachievements and KKL-JNF's work in general in aninteresting and accessible manner.

The Station focuses on encouraging the developmentof modern agriculture in the region as a key basis for community development. The lessons learned inthe region have had a profound impact on Israeliagriculture. Improving agriculture in the Arava regionalso furthers the goal of resettling people in the Negevto take pressure off the population density in thecentre of the country.

A few of the Research projects in progress at the YairStation are:

• Aquaculture – focusing on studying the breedingand growing of ornamental fish. The Arava exportsmillions of ornamental fish annually

• Organic Agriculture – in response to global demandfor organic produce, the Yair station is currentlygrowing a wide variety of orchard fruit, vegetablesand herbs.

Yair Research & Development Station

• Researchers are investigating: options for the nourishment of plants; various plant protection issues; soil alternatives for vegetables; hydroponics and new technologies aimed atimproving climatic conditions in the greenhouses.

• The Research Station conducts studies to prevent soildiseases in vegetables and flowers. They are also involved in working to quarantine pests such as the date palm weevil and the Mediterranean fruit fly. Protecting farmers’produce from pest infestations is critical in ensuring success in exporting their crops.

The Yair Research and Development Centre, ideally locatedalong the Arava Highway which connects the Dead Sea, Be’erSheva, and Eilat, is visible from the highway. The Visitor’s Centre will entice Israeli families and tourists to Israel to enjoy a break, and stop at the centre. They will than have theopportunity to learn firsthand about hothouse farming and the many other innovative projects and initiatives beingdeveloped in this otherwise arid land.

Yair Research & Development Station

THE PROJECT

The station focuses on encouraging the development of modernagriculture in the region as a key basis for community development.

TheJNF

The Jewish National Fund – Keren Kayemeth

LeIsrael – was founded in 1901 to purchase land

for the return of the Jewish people to its ancient

homeland. In the 108 years since its creation, the

organization has worked tirelessly to restore the

land, to enhance and foster environmental quality

and to nurture Zionist values.

The Jewish National Fund:Continuing to meet Israel’s needs after 108 Years

JEWISH NATIONAL FUND

The JNF-KKL has always championed the principle of

sustainable development, the meaning of which can be found

within the organization’s very name “Keren Kayemeth”

(“kayamut” is Hebrew for sustainability). Its allocation of

lands and natural resources in Israel is based on the use of

“interest” on the “principal” that nature provides, together

with meticulous protection of the “principal” for the future.

Since Israel achieved Statehood in 1948, JNF’s achievements

have included planting more than 240 million trees,

reclaiming more than 300,000 acres of land for agriculture,

housing and industry, creating over 1,100 rural villages,

building more than 4,000 miles of roads through

mountainous and desert terrain and establishing some 450

regional parks throughout the country.

Largely as a result of the afforestation programme, Israel was

the only country in the world which had more trees at the

end of the 20th century than it did at the beginning. These

trees enrich and conserve the soil against wind and water

erosion, something which is of paramount importance in a

semi-arid country such as Israel.

Israel is also acknowledged as a world leader in water

conservation and recycling. Two thirds of Israel’s land is

desert and rain falls only for about 50 days a year, between

November and March. Some parts of the Negev are particularly

arid, receiving only 25 mm of rain per year. JNF has built

water reservoirs and dams all over the country with a total of

more than 100 million cubic metres – about six percent of

Israel’s annual water consumption.

Over the years, reservoir technology has become

incomparably more effective and sophisticated, thanks

to Research and Development being conducted by

JNF-KKL and its partners and to lessons learned from

actual experience in building them. The construction work

provides economic support for a wide variety of industries


Protection of natural resources and ensuring the quality of life for all residents of Israel and

their descendants continues to be one of JNF-KKL’s environmental objectives.

involved in the physical, technical, practical and operative

maintenance of their infrastructure, such as the plastic-sheet

sealing industry, water pipes, filters, pumps, irrigation systems,

control systems and fences.

Effluents - partly purified sewage water - are stored in reservoirs,

too, instead of simply flowing freely into the environment. This

prevents the pollution of rivers, soil, and underground water

sources as well as the Mediterranean, Lake Kinneret, the Dead

Sea and the Red Sea. The effluents, which contain many

fertilizers, are used for agricultural irrigation in places with little

rain, enabling intensive, profitable agriculture even in regions

where there would otherwise be no agriculture at all. Now,

because water is available, there can even be two-and-a-half

growth cycles in a year.

The reservoirs are scattered all over Israel. They add beauty to

the scenery, provide a habitat for many birds and fish, create

ecological hubs and also provide an environment that delights

the eyes and the souls of local residents, farmers, hikers and all

other visitors.

Protection of natural resources and ensuring the quality of life for

all residents of Israel and their descendants continues to be one of

JNF-KKL’s environmental objectives. Sustainable development

constitutes the natural continuation of the organization’s historic

role: protection of the land and its development for the benefit of

the entire people, today and tomorrow.

JNF-KKL is closely involved in a national project to replace toxic

chemicals which are presently used with owls and kestrels. They

would eat the small rodents which plaque many agricultural

fields. For the last few years, the farmers in the Bet She’an Valley

have been working with JNF-KKL to develop proper nesting boxes

for the predatory birds. Professional instructors have shown the

farmers where best to place the boxes; today, there are 650 pairs of

predator birds in the area. Over the next three years, the project

will be expanded into the Hula Valley, the Golan, the Acre Valley,

Lachish, the central and western Negev and the Jordan Valley.

JNF-KKL continues to provide recreational areas and cycling trails

to improve the quality of life for all residents. In August 2008,

for instance, at a special sports day in the Carmel region’s Ofer

Forest, the Carmel cycle path was dedicated in memory of six

infantrymen from the 7002 Reservists’ Brigade who had been

killed in the line of duty. The cycle path will provide welcome

relaxation for many of the men’s comrades and their families.

In recent months, JNF-KKL experts have helped the people of

East Timor with their reforestation program. JNF-KKL are also

working with Canada’s First Nations community in Grand Rapids,

Manitoba to create a greenhouse program that will allow them to

grow their own fruit and vegetables year round, thus benefiting

their community in many ways.

Environmental issues such as these continue to plague the planet,

and JNF-KKL is always willing to share its knowledge with others,

in order to improve life for everyone. The project selected by our

Hamilton honorees to build a Visitors’ Centre at the Yair R &D

Station is totally consistent with the goals of the JNF to share its

expertise with others and to improve the environment in which

we all live. All these activities are excellent examples of ways in

which Jews and non-Jews around the world continue to partner

with the people of Israel in their common quest for harmony,

beauty, the highest quality of life and ultimately, ‘shalom’ – peace.

Thank you for helping JNF-KKL continue to turn vision into reality.

BiographyHilton and Shirley

silberg

Hilton and Shirley both grew up in Durban,

South Africa.

Shirley’s grandparents immigrated from England

and Romania. Her maternal grandfather Aaron

Cohen, stowed away on a ship from London, England

to Durban as a teenager. He established himself as a

prominent business man in Durban, and was

instrumental in building the orthodox synagogue,

and remained an integral part of Durban shul life.

A BIOGRAPHY

&ShirleyHilton Silberg

Shirley’s parents Max and Isabel Gitlin were married in

1942, and had 3 children Brian, Barbara and Shirley.

Max was a specialist in physical medicine (similar to a

sports medicine doctor today) and Isabel ran the practice.

From a young age Shirley was known as ‘carrot tops’ as she

had flaming red hair (something that attracted Hilton years

later) and was a ‘tomboy’, once falling out of a tree and

breaking her arm. Being the baby, the family legend is that she

was always doing things she shouldn’t have, but somehow, was

never reprimanded.

In school Shirley was very active. She captained her

school netball team and was on the field hockey and

swimming team. Shirley in fact, was instrumental in

designing her Carmel College (the Hebrew day school)

summer uniform. Her acting debut in Toad of Toad Hall

was an indication of her artistic skills as she landed the part

of a turkey and her lines were ‘gobble, gobble, gobble”.

Needless to say, her acting career was short!!

Shirley has always loved animals and remembers epic

birthday parties for her dogs complete with party hats,

streamers and chocolate cake.

Shirley was always involved in Jewish life. She attended

Habonim (Durban) for many years and was a Madricha for

a few years and at eighteen, soon after matriculating, she

visited Israel for the first time.

Hilton’s grandparents all immigrated from Lithuania and

his mother Brina’s parents settled in Johannesburg, and

Sam’s parents settled in Pretoria.

Sam and Brina were married in 1947 and moved from

Johannesburg to Durban where Sam built a successful career

in the retail furniture business. They had four children Sheryl,

Hilton, Lynn and Brett.

Hilton also was very active in sports playing soccer,

cricket and swimming for his school. In those days in South

Africa, in addition to school sports there, were club sports after school.

Hilton played soccer for a variety of teams, and for two seasons

captained the Durban Maccabi soccer team.

In addition, Hilton at age eleven and his sister Lynn started competitive

ballroom dancing. Hilton at age sixteen and Lynn, became the South

African Juvenile Ballroom Champions and runners up in the Latin

American Championship.

Hilton was an entrepreneur from a young age. After high school, he

started a DJ service and ran the business through the first few years of

pharmacy school.

Hilton was also very active in Jewish life in Durban. He attended

Habonim (Durban North) for many years and was a madrich as well.

Despite the fact that, the Jewish community was not very large, and

that Hilton & Shirley were both active in Habonim and attended many

Jewish functions they only met when they both entered the Natal

Pharmacy School in Durban.

They met in first year and started ‘going out’ at the end of that year.

They both completed their pharmacy apprenticeships in Durban

Hilton on his soccer team, later to captain theDurban Maccabi soccer team

and, after they received their pharmacy licenses, married in

1974 just before Hilton started doing his mandatory one year

army service.

He traveled around South Africa to four different army camps

and since Shirley was able to move with him across the country,

they were never apart for more than a few weeks.

Soon after Hilton completed his year’s service Hilton and

Shirley embarked on a 10 months backpacking trip around

Europe, Israel ,the United States and Canada. The trip

culminated in Montreal for the 1976 Olympic Games. That

was when the seeds of immigrating to Canada were planted.

On their return to South Africa they started their efforts to be

accepted to Canada.

After being rejected as immigrants three times, Hilton drove

from Johannesburg to the Canadian Embassy in Pretoria, and

staged a mini ‘sit-in’ until he convinced the immigration officers

to see him. After the meeting, and with a sponsorship letter

from a Jewish family in Toronto, the officer overturned the

rejection and the Silbergs arrived in Canada in August 1977.

They attended the University of Toronto Pharmacy School for

two years in order to have their qualifications recognized in

Canada – attending classes from 9am until 2pm and then

working form 3pm until 11pm at a retail pharmacy owned by

their Canadian sponsors.

Mark was born in 1979 at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.

They both received Canadian accreditation in 1980 and

worked in Scarborough until 1981. Then they opened the

Amherst Pharmacy in Dundas, with their partners, the families

who had sponsored them to Canada.

The Silbergs were welcomed into the Hamilton/Dundas

Jewish community. In fact Hilton was talked into playing

in the Hamilton Jewish Men’s Baseball League soon after

moving here.

Maxine was born in 1981 and Brad was born in 1982, soon

after they bought out their partners and changed the store’s name

to Hiltons Pharmacy.

A BIOGRAPHY

Hilton and Shirley with Suzanne Sommers atthe Womans Health Show, DayNight Phamacy

In 1987 Shoppers Drug Mart bought Hilton’s Pharmacy and Hilton

and Shirley operated two franchises in Dundas for the next four years.

In 1992, Hilton and Shirley left “Shoppers” behind to open their

first DayNight Pharmacy on the east Hamilton Mountain. It was the

first pharmacy in Hamilton to stay open until midnight. Hilton and

Shirley realized that to really help people you couldn’t do it on

bankers’ hours, Hilton took on City Hall and won an amendment to

a long standing by-law that would now allow DayNight Pharmacy to

help people even after work. The victory for patients also allowed

DayNight Pharmacy to really live up to its name.

Throughout the years, the pharmacy grew into a chain of five

incredibly successful stores.

The success caught the eye of Katz Group Canada and in the fall of

2007, Hilton and Shirley sold their business to the pharmacy giant

under the Rexall Pharma Plus brand.

Hilton has served the Hamilton Community with commitment,

humour and heart. He served on the Dundas Community Services

years, chaired the Walk for Israel. He has volunteered with the

Hamilton North End Breakfast Program and has sat on the Beth

Jacob Board of Directors, the Shalom Village Board of Directors

and the Shalom Village Foundation Board. He is the immediate

Past President of JNF Hamilton, and has been co-chair of the

JNF Negev Dinner Advertising Committee. Shirley has also been

an active contributor to the Hamilton Jewish Community for

many years. Her involvement has included volunteering at the

Hamilton JCC programs, the Hamilton North End Breakfast

Program, being a cook at the ‘Out of the Cold’ program since its

inception and volunteering at Goldie’s Place day program for

adults at Shalom Village. As a volunteer at the JNF, Shirley was

instrumental in the development of the reserved seating concept

at the Negev Dinner in Hamilton and she chaired the seating

committee and dinner committee for many years.

Semi-retirement has not slowed the Silbergs down at all. In

fact they’re busier than ever with community efforts, new

projects and as local media celebrities on the hit radio show

Rexall Radio Health Matters heard weekdays from noon to 1pm

on Hamilton’s heritage News Talk station 900CHML. Their

philosophy on life is very simple “give first of yourself and you

will always be rewarded. Rewarded with the feeling that comes

with reaching out to help others and the knowledge that your

actions can make a huge positive difference in people’s lives.”

Thank You To All Of This Year’sJewish National Fund Volunteers

The Jewish National Fund of Hamilton would like to express its gratitude to our many friends who have provided services

and have worked so hard to make this evening a success …

The leadership of the JNF also acknowledges the two incredibly committed women who work in our JNF office: Sonia Jacob, our Administrative Coordinator, who somehow manages

to keep her cool and deals with so many different challenges and tight deadlines, and Roberta Katz, our Office Assistant who always responds in a pleasant and helpful way

and puts everyone at ease. Kol Hakavod and Todah Rabah!!

Israel Vukmir – who has volunteered at the Jewish National Fund offices for more than a decade and never asks for anything and always is willing to help and who is totally committed to the JNF and the State of Israel

Lorne Gaffe and Hamilton Store Fixtures – Lorne and his staff provide a safe place forour Negev Dinner dishes. They help us inventory and ship our dishes for our NegevDinners in Hamilton and Windsor and other special occasions

Violet Byl at Effort Trust – who arranged the facilities for our 2 telethons and made certain that our volunteers were welcomed to the offices

Mark Draak and Wide Eyed Communications – for demonstrating creativity in developingour wonderful Tribute Book

Irene Gaudet and Chef Alan – and the Hamilton Convention Centre for consistently delivering excellent food providing excellent service

Jennifer Howe – at Perfect Sphere Productions for producing wonderfully creative videosand taking much of the pressure off when dealing with staging such an important event

Telav Communications – for the AV support

Michael Mastroianni & Gida Alleblas – for making sure we have our dishes where weneed them and when we need them.

Charles Kravetsky – for ensuring that we fulfil our Kashrut requirements in a manageableand cooperative way

Lawrence Yanover – for providing professional photographic services for our specialreception and dinner event

… and our dedicated volunteers whose names appear elsewhere in this book. It is comforting to know that so many care about our community and Israel.
