Culture and History Enrich a Traditional Montreal Home

One look inside Evan and Osnat Feldman’s Montreal home and it’s clear that their family and heritage mean everything to them. After an unsuccessful attempt to expand their previous home due to city restrictions, the Feldmans moved two blocks to a larger space where Hasidic figurines, a traditional shofar (ram’s horn) and a “Jewish history table” that holds various historical books mix with antique dark wood antiques and bold colors and patterns for a look that’s deeply sentimental yet instantly approachable.



Labeled “the red room,” the family room features a custom-made sofa that inspired the room’s wall color, which is a custom Benjamin Moore mix.

Osnat, who was born in Israel, had the large coffee table/ottoman made out of yellow leather. It serves as her “Jewish history table” that holds various historical books, including boxed sets like Lessons in Tanya and Ethics of Our Fathers.

A collection of family photographs adorns the window ledges.



Osnat created this wall arrangement using pages from a book about flowers and frames from local shopGemst. The trunks and chairs are both antiques given to the couple by Evan’s mother.

A traditional shofar, or ram’s horn, with a small plaque rests on top. It was given to Evan in gratitude for his involvement with the local Jewish community.



The couple purchased the three Hasidic figurines here in a marketplace during a trip to Israel. The corner desk is an antique.
