 Rachel Weygman Ruchel and Isaac's youngest child was Younah who was born about 1881. Younah married Rachel Langerin the early 1900’s. |
|||
 Younah Weygman Younah left Bogria and moved to Warsaw. Then he made a daring decision. He and his young bride immigrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina where Youna opened the first kosher restaurant in Argentina and probably in all of South America. The restaurant was a success. Rachel became pregnant, but she suffered with a sick pregnancy. She was homesick and it was decided that she would return to Poland to have the child and Youna would stay in Argentina. At the last moment, Younah realized that he could not let his young bride go alone -so he hastily sold his business and went with Rachel. And Isaac was born in Lodz in 1909.

Surviving World War I was a
struggle for Younah and Rachel and their four young boys -- 3 of whom were
still tots. They went back to Bogria to escape from the war zone of the
large city of Lodz. Younah was a merchant in
Lodz. He was a wholesaler of men's, women's and children’s hosiery and
socks |

 Isaac Weygman Isaac learned a trade in Lodz. He was apprenticed to a furrier and became more than just a skilled craftsman -- he was a creative designer. Isaac had his own fur business in Lodz from 1930 to 1935 and then he immigrated to Toronto. He soon met Thelma Rosner and they were married in 1936. |
|||
| By 1938, Isaac opened his own shop in Toronto with a partner. Isaac was successful. Then, in 1949, Isaac and Thelma did a daring thing -- they moved to New York with their two young daughters. Isaac found another business partner and opened a shop at 333 Seventh Avenue, but the pace of New York living was too hectic and they returned to Toronto in 1952. | |||
