Edmonton

Those who can, do.

Eva and Louis Toban, my parents could and did. They were big supporters of the State of Israel, Congregation Schara Tzedeck in Vancouver and many non-Jewish organizations. 

I moved to Edmonton in 1951 where my husband, Tevie z"l, and I donated our time, skills, and eventually funds to the Edmonton Jewish community and many local organizations, particularly in the arts.

Leaving a legacy for the Edmonton Jewish community is very important to me, whether it be through the annual UJA campaign or our new JCC. I am very pleased to have established endowment funds to support both. 

We are a relatively small Jewish community, but it’s here that we raised our three children and saw our 11 grandchildren grow up, and now some of our great-grandchildren. I want to ensure that they, and all Jewish Edmontonians, have a strong community to encourage and support their Jewish life.
