UJA Federation is a foundation that we as brothers grew up
to be very familiar with. Growing up in Toronto, being of
a Jewish heritage it was often spoken about in the context
of giving and enriching the lives of others as we have been
enriched ourselves. We were lucky enough to be raised in Toronto
by parents whose own parents were holocaust survivors.
The stories told to us about a time when Jews were not free
to give and support the schools and the Jewish community were
numerous. We were made aware of how lucky we were to be educated
in Hebrew school and able to learn the customs and language
of our ancestors.
Giving and nurturing was an integral part of our upbringing.
Our grandparents and parents have been benevolent givers.
They raised us with a passion of commitment to one another
and to the larger community at hand. Supporting the Jewish
community in Toronto is of great importance to us. Our family’s
philanthropic vision was instilled in us from a very early
part of our childhood. We both remember very clearly accompanying
our parent at numerous charitable functions. Understanding
what it is to be part of a team that accomplishes great things
for the betterment of all.
The UJA Federation holds its place in history, both in the
present and the future. Toronto is a vibrant and loving community
that comes together and unites through the UJA Federation.
It is our pleasure to support and empower the wonderful campaigns
and projects that involve both Jewish community and the people
of the world. We dedicate this interactive display to our
families, the community and the world. There should only be
health, happiness, peace and prosperity for the people of
the world.
Our vision has come to life through our business. Office
Supercentre which donates 5% of all client purchases in the
form of State of Israel Bonds to the charity of the client’s
choice. We in return issue tax receipts for their thankful
donations. It has been a real joy to see the Jewish people
come together to so strongly support what they believe in.
It is important to remember and strive for unification amongst
the world.
We cherish life and the beautiful breath that one takes.
L’Chaim! To Life!
