On October 10th, 2013, more than 350 members of the Montreal Jewish Community joined the Chaya Mushka Seminary in honoring philanthropists Charna and Larry Wexler with the Chai Lifetime Achievement Award.
At the Annual Feast of Nations Seminary Gala guests were treated to an elegant and delectable dinner catered by Simone Toledano, and a special lecture delivered by Mrs. Eva Schloss, holocaust survivor and step sister of renown diarist Anne Frank.
Coupled with a lively auction hosted by auctioneer par-excellence Eddie Rogo, moving speeches and an award ceremony, Rabbi Avraham Cohen, Director of Chaya Mushka Seminary expresses, “When we support an institute like Chaya Mushka Seminary, we secure a promise of a Jewish tomorrow.”
Rabbi Michoel Dahan, Dean of the Seminary, addressed the attendees on the importance of the Chinuch offered at The Seminary and the success the seminary has enjoyed since its inception 25 years ago. He spoke of the important work the students accomplish in the Montreal Community and later throughout the world on Shlichus.
The spirited Live Auction and popular Silent Auction provided much needed funds for students in need of financial assistance, allowing some of the brightest and most motivated ladies from around the world to thrive in the spiritually enhanced environment of The Seminary.
Gala coordinators Moshe Cohen and Bayla Greenwald worked tirelessly for the success of the event including the phenomenal concert featuring chassidic singer Benny Friedman who entertained the crowd of close to 600 people during the concert-lecture session.
Montreal Chief of Police, Marc Parent, Federal Ministers and Members of the National Assembly were part of the attendees to this great community event.
Montreal Council General of Israel, Honorable Joel Lion, spoke of his personal experiences with Chabad around the world, and said that the graduates of the Seminary serve as important role models of all Chabad houses and Jewish Centers around the world.
Rabbi Cohen concluded that “As long as we have partners like we have at our side, we will continue to provide the finest education to the Jewish mothers, teachers and leaders of tomorrow.”
