Limmud Toronto 2016

The session is based on the results of our in-depth interviews with dozens of Canada’s top philanthropists and our recently published book The Philanthropic Mind. Through revealing quotes and rich anecdotes, we will elucidate the passions, motivations, defining experiences, likes, dislikes, joys and challenges of these givers. More importantly, we will shed light on what some might find very surprising about the actions and attitudes of these notable Canadians, many of whom are Jewish. Ultimately we will demonstrate that despite their wealth and the magnitude of their giving, they are - first and foremost - people.
