My family has a long history of volunteering in our community. My grandfather prepared and distributed Passover baskets in the 1930s. My grandmother was involved with the Jewish Hospital of Hope. My mother and my son volunteered at Maimonides. I became involved at Shaare Zedek about seven years ago, when our family joined the congregation. I have been a member of the Board of Directors for the last six years. I was a member of and then Chair of the Human Resources Committee and have been a member of the Executive Committee for the last two years, the last year of which I was appointed Vice President.

I have been an active volunteer in the community for over 50 years. Among my many accomplishments, I have been Chair of Tay-Sachs committee that brought testing into CÉGEPs and high schools on the island of Montreal; Member of a Parliamentary committee to include the Ghet as part of legal divorce proceedings. I have served as president of B'nai B'rith Women of Canada, Jewish National Fund, Auxiliary of the Jewish General Hospital, Cummings Centre and, of course, most recently, Shaare Zedek for four and a half years. I have been a member of the synagogue with my husband, Jack, for 18 years. SZ is my sanctuary, my second home. I am committed to ensuring the sustainability of this wonderful congregation.
