The Jewish Foundation of Greater Toronto invites members of Toronto’s Southern African community to join us, on behalf of Craig Rimer and Antony Karabus, for a meaningful conversation about community and philanthropy. Craig and Antony will share how working with the Jewish Foundation has helped them support charities that align with their values and make their philanthropy more thoughtful, strategic, and meaningful.

Space is limited so spots will be available on a first come, first served basis.
 

We will also be joined by Daniel Held, UJA’s chief program officer, who will provide an update on the past year and the evolving security landscape facing Jewish Toronto. He will share insights into the work of the Jewish Security Network (JSN), the rise in antisemitism, and the steps being taken to help keep our community safe and secure.
