Evite: "Why Be Jewish?" A Conversation between Matthew Bronfman and Bernie M. Farber
Bernie M. Farber is the Executive Director of the Mosaic Institute. In his long and varied career, he spent a good portion (27 years) with Canadian Jewish Congress becoming its CEO from 2006-2011. During that time, he was also the Canadian representative to the World Jewish Congress (WJC). In that time he worked with both professional and lay staff of the WJC including its president Edgar BronfmanZ"L.
The years in which Mr. Bronfman presided over the WJC were significant times; issues ranging from the scandal of Kurt Waldheim, to working with the then Soviet Union to free Soviet Jews, to Swiss Bank Accounts being withheld from Holocaust survivors and their families and much more were handled by president Bronfman.
This conversation between Edgar's son Matthew Bronfman, a renowned philanthropist in his own right and Bernie M. Farber one of Canada's most knowledgeable and respected Jewish figures, that will center around Edgar Brofman's last book "Whe Be Jewish?" will be one of the "must-attend" events on the communal calendar. Space is limited so please register early and avoid disappointment.
