he Fund Raising Committee is charged with raising the necessary dollars to ensure the financial viability of the with the goal of achieving a balanced budget on an T annual basis. It also works with the Planned Giving and Dedications Committee on Endowment and Dedication projects. Some of the highlights of last year’s activities included the Yom Kippur Yizkor Appeal, The Shabbaton of Lord Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the YU Shabbaton and the Lag B’Omer dinner.

Similar initiatives are planned for the coming year. The major fundraising event will be the installation weekend and dinner for our Mara D’Asrah, Rabbi Daniel Korobkin. This will be followed by our Scholar in Residence program with Rabbi Emeritus Rabbi Baruch Taub. We are also looking into the feasibility, along with other institutions, of bringing the Chief Rabbi of South Africa Warren Goldstein to Toronto and the BAYT. Among the other fund raising / social events in the works are the re-launch of the boat cruise and a scotch tasting and/or wine tasting evening.

We are actively seeking volunteers to help us in achieving our goals. If interested, please contact Morris Maron ([email protected]). We could use the help.

Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.
