Montreal Chapter

Through fundraising efforts and promotion of the Hebrew University’s programs, facilitating academic exchange and furthering Canada-Israel relations, the Montreal Chapter has played an integral role in the University’s growth and development.
Bi-annually, fundraising dinners are held to honour outstanding Montrealers; Paul Desmarais. Edward J. Winant, Marcelle and Jean Coutu, J. Stephen Lipper, Roslyn and Harvey Wolfe, and L. Jacques Ménard to name a few.

À 30 ans, Jake Eberts croyait avoir raté sa vie. Quarante plus tard, après avoir remporté plusieurs Oscars à titre de producteur d'une cinquantaine de films dont Gandhi, Chariots of Fire, Driving Miss Daisy et Dances with Wolves, ce natif de Montréal peut difficilement prétendre à l'échec. Pour sa peine, son ami Denys Arcand lui remettra, lundi, au Centre des sciences, la Clé de la connaissance, à l'occasion d'une soirée de financement pour son nouveau projet : Jerusalem en IMAX 3D.
