One of the many notable winners is Holocaust survivor Max Eisen who was recognized for “his contributions to Holocaust education, and for his promotion of transformational dialogue on human rights, tolerance and respect.”
Max Eisen has spoken at Habonim a number of times - see: https://youtu.be/INAUzHSp4oM and is involved with many local Holocaust education organizations, including the Neuberger Holocaust Centre, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre and March of the Living.
As we enter 2022, let us be proud of all the members of our community who have made extraordinary contributions to life in Canada. Wishing you all the best in 2022! Shabbat Shalom.
