The Book of Life

The Book of Life is an ongoing program that recognizes donors who leave a charitable legacy through the Jewish Foundation of Greater Toronto, and invites them to write their story, focusing on their values and reasons for giving. Eric’s story was one of 20 new stories featured at the Jewish Foundation’s annual Book of Life Celebration in May 2018 and inscribed into the Book of Life. To have your story included in the next Book of Life Celebration in May 2019, contact us at [email protected] or 416.631.5703.
