We were both raised with Tzedakah being part of our daily
family life. Both our families — mine from Montreal and
Gerry’s from Winnipeg — were always involved and
taught us to care and contribute to the State of Israel and
the Jewish community.
It may have started with giving a leaf or two in Kindergarten
and Hebrew school. This leaf would be part of a tree planted
in Israel. Eventually, you had enough to give a whole tree.
Over the years, our roots and connection to Israel and the
Jewish community have remained strong.
We are proud to be Jewish and feel fortunate that now we
are in a position to give back in a more meaningful way to
the community. Education and outreach in particular are important
to us and we hope our contributions in these areas help nurture
Jewish continuity for generations to come.
