  • IV: Construction
    IV: Construction The Campaign Organization had raised a sufficient number of pledges. There remained, however, a great deal of work to be done before the Jewish hospital could open its doors, including the transformation of pledges into payments, the finding of suitable land, the construction and equipment of the hospital, and the hiring of an able and competent staff. Before those tasks could be undertaken, it was necessary to establish the post- campaign hospital leadership. Fortunately, much of this had been looked after by the end of the campaign. On August 9, 1929, Allan Bronfman, Michael Hirsch and Ernest G.F. Vaz had petitioned the provincial government for a charter so that the Jewish Hospital Campaign Committee could legally hold property. The government granted this charter, making the hospital committee a corporation, on September 5, 1929. On September 25, the legal formalities having been completed, the "Jewish Hospital Campaign Committee Inc." held its first official general meeting. Elections took place and resulted in the appointment of the following men as Directors: Allan Bronfman, Michael Hirsch, Ernest G.F. Vaz, Samuel Bronfman, Charles B. Fainer, Morris Ginsberg, Robert Hirsch, Abraham H. Jassby, David Kirsch, Joseph Levinson Sr., Michael Morris, Harry Reubins, Hyman M. Ripstein, Alderman Joseph Schubert, Isaac Silverstone, Louis Solomon, Abraham Moses Vineberg and Dr. Max Wiseman. The Directors held their first meeting on October 7 and then chose Allan Bronfman as President of the Board. Other officers appointed included: Michael Hirsch (Chairman of the Board of Directors), Samuel Bronfman (Vice-President), Joseph Levinson Sr. (Treasurer), Robert Hirsch (Secretary) and Ernest Vaz (Executive Secretary).

  • 3. the Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust by Max Beer
    Curr Psychol DOI 10.1007/s12144-007-9017-3 The Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust Max Beer # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract In 1993 Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in Germany. At the same time, in Canada in general and in Montreal in particular, anti-Semitism was becoming more widespread. The Canadian Jewish Congress, as a result of the growing tension in Europe and the increase in anti-Semitism at home, was reborn in 1934 and became the authoritative voice of Canadian Jewry. During World War II the Nazis embarked on a campaign that resulted in the systematic extermination of millions of Jews. This article focuses on the Montreal Jewish community, its leadership, and their response to the fate of European Jewry. The study pays particular attention to the Canadian Jewish Congress which influenced the outlook of the community and its subsequent actions. As the war progressed, loyalty to Canada and support for the war effort became the overriding issues for the community and the leadership and concern for their European brethren faded into the background. Keywords Anti-Semitism . Holocaust . Montreal . Quebec . Canada . Bronfman . Uptowners . Downtowners . Congress . Caiserman The 1930s, with the devastating worldwide economic depression and the emergence of Nazism in Germany, set the stage for a war that would result in tens of millions of deaths and the mass extermination of Europe’s Jews. The decade marked a complete stoppage of Jewish immigration to Canada, an increase in anti-Semitism on the North American continent, and the revival of the Canadian Jewish Congress as the voice for the Canadian Jewish community.

  • Profiles in Family Philanthropy
    Profiles in Family Philanthropy Each month, Family Giving News celebrates the legacies and philanthropic contributions of family philanthropists all over the world by highlighting the story of one philanthropic donor or family in "Profiles in Family Philanthropy." Profiles 2007 MAY/JUNE 2007: The Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies Charles Bronfman returned from a trustees' meeting of the Mount Sinai Medical Center with an idea. Bronfman, Chairman and co-founder with his late wife Andrea of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, had heard of the Medical Center's efforts in the emerging field of personalized medicine. Dr. Jeffrey Solomon, President of the Philanthropies, recalls, “He came back to the foundation and said, ‘Would we do some homework in this arena?’” The result of that homework: a $12.5-million grant to Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York to establish the Charles Bronfman Institute for Personalized Medicine. Called a "leadership gift," the grant aims to support a new approach to medicine which utilizes information about a person's genetic make-up to more effectively detect, treat, and prevent disease. Like many of the Philanthropies' efforts, it represents a significant investment in "the next generation," in this case, the next generation of genetics research and genomics-based medicine. In Memoriam: Andrea Bronfman Andrea Morrison Bronfman, co-chair of The Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, tragically passed away January 23, 2006 as the result of injuries sustained in a traffic accident. Through her leadership at ACBP and numerous other philanthropic endeavors, she was a shaping force in initiatives aimed at strengthening Jewish identity worldwide, with a focus on Jewish youth, the arts and education.

You should think about nobody and go your own way, not on a course marked out for you by people holding water and bottles of iodine in case you fall, and to get you moving again. All I knew was that you had to run, run, run without knowing why you were running.” Alan Sillitoe Chaki is a well seasoned artist in the mature phase It strikes me that there is a quaternity operating of his long career, a poet of the visual image in in many of the aspects of his life and work, a four his prime so to speak.

  • 1: Montreal and the Jewish Community in the 1920'S
    1: Montreal and the Jewish Community in the 1920's Montreal in the 1920's was a sharply divided city, both socially and culturally. Rifts separated the wealthy from the poor, uptowner from East-ender, anglophone from fran- cophone, immigrant from native-born, and Gentile from Jew. From its origins in 1929, the Jewish General Hospital would contribute substantially to the bridging of these differences and to the promotion of greater harmony in efforts for the benefit of all. Both Montreal's population and that of the Jewish community within it had been growing rapidly for some time. Census figures reveal that the number of people living in Montreal, after having more than doubled since the turn of the century, increased from 618,506 in 1921 to 818,577 ten years later. Since much of this increase resulted from im- migration, a great deal of which was Jewish, Jews quickly rose to prominence as the third largest ethnic group in Montreal. After a gradual growth in the old, but small, Jewish community to some 8,100 persons in 1901, by 1921 its numbers had soared to 51,287, despite the interruption of immigration during the war years. Thus, in 1921 Jews accounted for a full seven percent of Montreal's population. Montreal grew in more than population during the first decades of the twentieth century and began to assume aspects of its present appearance. Industry, already the heart of Montreal's economy, continued to expand once the post-war recession was over. This trend was particularly visible in traditional industrial sectors - clothing, textiles, tobacco, and iron and steel products - as well as in some newer sectors, such as electrical appliances and oil products.

  • The Canadian Jewish Archives and Other Montreal Collections
    Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes, vol. 24, 2016 169 Janice Rosen Archives Director, Alex Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives Once Is Not Enough: The Canadian Jewish Archives and other Montreal Collections Reconsidered after None Is Too Many Janice Rosen / Once Is Not Enough: The Canadian Jewish Archives and other 170 Montreal collections reconsidered afterNone Is Too Many It may not be overstating the case to say that None Is Too Many was the making of the Canadian Jewish Archives. Prior to the researching of the book in the late 1970s, there was no professional order to the repository once known as the Canadian Jewish Con- gress National Archives, and now called the Alex Dworkin Canadian Jewish Archives (C J Archives for short). The questions that the authors posed to former Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) officers and staff and the attention which they paid to the CJC and United Jewish Relief Agencies (UJRA) papers piled up in the Samuel Bronfman Building vault in Montreal clearly galvanized the organization to take its historical legacy seriously, prompting the hiring in 1981 of professionally-trained archivist Ju- dith Nefsky to work alongside and complement the talents of historian David Rome. The impetus of the writing of the book also spurred CJC’s pursuit of the major Social Science and Humanities Research Council grant that funded the initial cataloguing of these core collections of immigration-related material, and in turn led to the ac- quisition by the Archives of the vast Jewish Immigrant Aid Services (JIAS) collection. The CJC records, The UJRA collection, the papers of the Jewish Colonization Asso- ciation and the administrative and case file records of JIAS, all initially catalogued under that three year grant, became the nucleus of the Archives’ 20th century hold- ings.

    The Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel: Wise Investing in the Jewish Future ejewishphilanthropy.com/the-bronfman-youth-fellowships-in-israel-wise-investing-in-the-jewish-future/ BYFI Community by Professor Joseph Reimer In January, 1987 I received a call from Rabbi Michael Paley asking if he could come to Brandeis University to consult on an idea he had for a new Israel program. Michael had been given the challenge by Edgar M. Bronfman to propose a bold new concept that they would consider funding. They had been funding a program called the Israel Friendship Camp, but were ready for a bolder step. A few weeks later I was invited to a consultation in New York to consider Paley’s proposal. I remember offering an impassioned plea that this was not a time for caution, for what the field of Israel programs needed was an initiative that would break new ground in creating a group of talented teens united not by their affiliation with existing movements, but by a wish to reach beyond old divisions to create a pluralistic Jewish community. To my delight, the foundation bought that argument and asked Paley to lead the new program that would eventually be called the Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel (BYFI). I was honored when Michael asked me to be one of its first faculty members. This week, alumni of the many years of the Bronfman Fellowships will gather in New York to celebrate its 25th anniversary. This seems an opportune moment to ask why this Fellowship has flourished over a quarter-century.
