The program included a presentation from the chair of the Investment Committee, Mark Grammer, Managing Director & Portfolio Manager at Gluskin Sheff + Associates Inc., and Texas Hemmalpharb, Managing Director at Pavilion Advisory Group Inc. Presentations emphasized our investment plan and an economic outlook. Given the enthusiastic response of our donor community to the financial update presentation, the Foundation plans to make this an annual event. THE BOOK OF LIFE ![]() The Book of Life is a signature program that recognizes donors who leave a charitable legacy through the Jewish Foundation of Greater Toronto. A legacy may be in the form of a charitable fund, a bequest or a gift of life insurance.
