It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Harvey Appelle, peacefully surrounded with his family, on August 15, 2026, at the age of 86.

Harvey was a cherished, loving and devoted husband, a proud father, an adoring Zaida, and loyal friend. His gentle spirit, generous and kind heart, quiet wisdom, and wonderful sense of humour made everyone around him feel welcome and loved.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife and life partner of 64 years, Faye; his children, Beverley, Rochelle (Martin), and Sheldon (Lorey); his beloved grandchildren, Daniel, Mikaela, Shane and Shawn; and brother, Morry (Christine). He was predeceased by his parents, Bella, Samuel and Pere; and his brother Gerry.

Harvey was born in Winnipeg, on May 8, 1940, to Bella and Samuel Appelle. He grew up in the North End, attended Luxton School and later St. John’s High School. Harvey worked in the lumber and building industries; drafted residential and commercial buildings; and later retired from Sears.

He met the love of his life, Faye Globerman, in 1961 and they married a year later. Together they raised three children.

Harvey was an avid golfer, curler, and bowler, and a dedicated season ticket holder for the Bombers for many years.

He dedicated his life to his family and later he was a dedicated volunteer, giving back to his community by generously giving his time to many organizations, including the Jewish Child and Family Services, WRHA, and events including the 1999 Pan Am Games, and multiple Grey Cups. He also donated blood to the Red Cross for many years.

Harvey will be fondly remembered for his love of family and friends, and for the respect and affection he earned from all who knew him. He was the true definition of a “mensch”.

Those wishing to honour Harvey’s memory may donate to the Jewish Child and Family Services or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of MB.

We are heartbroken and forever grateful for the love and legacy he leaves behind. We will miss him beyond words, love him always, and carry his memory with us forever.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend, Belle Burke, who passed away peacefully after recently celebrating her 100th birthday. Belle lived a remarkable century filled with love, family, friendship, and many wonderful memories. She was a devoted wife to her husband, Matt, and a loving mother to Robert (Marilyn) and Lori (Barry).
Belle was a proud grandmother to Jessica (Daniel), Charles, Shaun (Nicole), Michael (Kristen), and Jay (Sara), and a cherished great-grandmother to Layla, Jake, Bree, Bo, Madeleine, Remy, Devon, Ellis, Wade, and Tessa. Her family was the greatest source of joy and pride throughout her life.
In her early years, Belle attended both Aberdeen and St. John’s High Schools. She was known for her amazing baking, and her delicious creations that were enjoyed by family and friends alike. She also loved playing Bridge and Mahjong, enjoying both the games and, perhaps most importantly, the friendships and laughter that came with them. Belle spent much of her life in Winnipeg before moving to Toronto in 2014. Wherever she lived, she had a special ability to make lasting friendships and touch the lives of those around her. She was warm, caring, and genuinely interested in the people she met, creating friendships that endured through the years.
Belle was predeceased by her parents, Sam and Sarah Fradkin, her brother Aaron, and her beloved husband Matt.
Her memory will live on through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and the many friends whose lives she touched.
One hundred years of life, love, laughter, family, and friendship — a truly remarkable legacy.
The family would like to extend a very special and heartfelt thank you to Hervie, Belle’s amazing caregiver, who cared for her with extraordinary kindness, compassion, patience, and dedication.
Belle will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Malik Juravsky on August 19, 2026 at the age of 95.Mal leaves to mourn his beloved wife of 67 years, Ruth, his children Louis Juravsky (Tracey Sauerland),Marsha (David) Rosenberg, Nancy (Howard) Pitch, Kathryn (Shayne) Taback, his grandchildren Joshua and Eliana Rosenberg, William Pitch, Geoffrey (Nicolette) Pitch, Menashe (Maytal) Pitch, Eitan Pitch, Abigail and Elliot Taback, and great-granddaughter Tziporah Pitch.
The son of Luba and Louis Juravsky, Mal was born in Winnipeg and raised in Garson, Manitoba. The youngest of six, he was predeceased by his siblings Lotte Cohen, Maurice (Minno) Jeroff, Wilfred (Curly), Abie, and Sam. After moving to Winnipeg, he graduated from St. Johns High School, and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physics from the University of Manitoba. In his forties, he obtained a B.Ed and Master of Education. He became a junior high math and science teacher and taught for many years at Selkirk Junior High. After he retired from teaching, he was often stopped by former students who came up to him and told him how much they loved and appreciated him. He was an avid reader and life-long learner. He enjoyed taking classes of all kinds after retirement. Always curious and a natural innovator, he invented machines and tools that were useful in his work at Garson Limestone, the business started by his father. Many iconic stone buildings were built using this Tyndall stone from the quarries, and he was intimately involved in every aspect of the cutting, and laying of the stone for the Winnipeg Post Office, Winnipeg Art Gallery, and the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, among others. He was responsible for creating the 14,000-pound pivoting stone door at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, a task no engineer in North America would take on due to the danger and level of difficulty involved. Yet Mal, without an engineering degree, knew it was possible and set out to do it and succeeded.
Mal will be remembered for his kindness, his compassion, his humility, his sense of humour, his selflessness, his willingness to help anybody, his ability to teach, his love for his wife and family, and his beautiful, easy smile.

Dr. Hyman (“Hy”) Dubo passed away peacefully in Kamloops, British Columbia, on July 11, 2026, after years of declining health due to Parkinson’s disease. He was 87.
Hy was born in Winnipeg on March 14, 1939. He and Donna married in 1964 and shared more than six decades together.
Following fellowship training, Hy began working as a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist in 1969. He later served as medical director of the Manitoba Rehabilitation Hospital and as head of the Section of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Manitoba.
Over four decades, Hy helped build rehabilitation medicine in Manitoba. He developed specialist training, taught medical students, residents, and allied health professionals, and helped establish programs in spinal cord injury, amputee care, neurological rehabilitation, musculoskeletal medicine, and brain injury. He also served as an examiner and as president of the Canadian Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, published widely, and presented nationally and internationally. His research contributed to the evidence supporting seatbelt legislation in Manitoba.
Hy developed what he often described as a “second career” in myofascial pain medicine. He shared these approaches with physicians and other health professionals, helping to advance treatments that continue to play an important role in pain management today.
Hy retired in 2010. Outside of medicine, he was known for his jokes, his love of travel and photography, and his lifelong devotion to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Winnipeg Jets. He is survived by his beloved wife, Donna; daughter Deborah and her husband, Matt Matthew, and their sons Thomas, Alex, Nicholas, and Jacob Matthew; son Nathan Dubo and his partner, Tamara Steinborn; and daughter Sherryl Dubo and her husband, Russell Lewis, and their children Violet, Charlotte, and Jack Lewis.
Hy will be remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and a gifted physician and teacher whose work improved rehabilitation care for generations of patients.
The funeral will be held at Chapel Lawn, 4000 Portage Avenue, in Winnipeg on Friday, September 4 at 2:00 pm.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dearest mother, Rhona Shnier. We find comfort in knowing that she will be reunited with “her Allie,” to whom she was married for almost 73 years. Theirs was the quintessential love story. She was cherished and had the privilege of remaining in her own home with the assistance of a team of treasured caregivers until she succumbed to dementia, which she had lived with for many years.
Our mother was a generous woman who always had a welcoming and warm home, whether it was in Winnipeg, at the lake, in Palm Springs, accompanying Allie to Las Vegas, or visiting her children in Toronto and Vancouver. She and Allie also generously took us all on many cruises.
Her cooking, baking, joyous laughter, and open-door policy created a wholesome village for us to grow up in. She was an open-minded and liberal woman with an elegant sense of personal style and interior design. She was supportive of all of her grandchildren’s interests and attended many dance concerts.
She will be deeply missed by her children, Clifford (Ruth Anne z”l) Shnier, Sara (Jeffrey) Bernstein, Jordy Shnier, and Gary Shnier; her grandchildren, Carrie Shnier, Kelly Shnier, Tammy (Ilan) Vinokur, Jared Bernstein (Laura Gordon), Noah Bernstein (Alexa Gelles), Lily Bernstein (Kel Exner), Jacob Blaeser (Abby), Andrew Blaeser (Bailie), Zoe Shnier, Skyler Shnier, and Bryn Shnier; and her great-grandchildren, Zoey, Lexi, Wesley, Goldie, Ivory, Baker, Iris, Cooper, and Bodie. She will also be deeply missed by her many nieces and nephews and her dearest friend, Sos Plattner. Sincere thanks go to Dr. Grant Goldberg for his many years of patience and kindness, and for his constant communication with hospitals. We would also like to thank Nurse Practitioner Sabrina Singh, who worked closely with Grant. A special thank you to the nursing staff, who were always accessible and supportive to us. May her memory be a blessing.
In lieu of flowers, kindly make donations to The Jewish Foundation of Manitoba.
The family would like to thank the pallbearers: Joel Remis, Dr. Alan Ritter, Laurie Gorenstein, and grandchildren Skyler Shnier, Bryn Shnier, Tammy Vinokur, and Jacob Blaeser.

February 15, 1950 – August 10, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Karen Leslie Gomori, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, on August 10, 2026, at the age of 76. Karen passed away peacefully with family at her side.

She was predeceased by her parents, Sydney Peikoff and Sylvia (Bloom) Peikoff; and her brother Hart (Chaim) Peikoff.

Karen grew up in a loving family on Waverley Street. Her grandmother Betty Bloom passed away the year Karen had her bat mitzvah. She attended Hebrew school, River Heights School, Grant Park High School and the University of Manitoba, where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree. She worked in the fashion industry for several years and later worked as a legal secretary at the Fillmore Riley law firm. In 1992, she met Andy on a blind date arranged by her cousin, Howard. They had two drinks and dinner at Hy’s restaurant, and the rest is history. They got married and shared 34 years of beautiful life together. Karen moved in with Andy and his two sons, Paul and Stephen, coincidentally, also on Waverley Street.

Karen will be lovingly remembered by the love of her life, her husband of 34 years, Dr. Andrew Gomori. She also leaves behind Paul Gomori and his daughter, Freya; Stephen Gomori (Amber Hills) and their daughters, Elise and Laurel. She will be terribly missed by her sister, Roberta Ludwig (William), who lives in the US. She was very close with Roberta, talking on the phone almost daily, especially in the last two years. She will be missed by her nephews, Bryan Ludwig and Michael Ludwig (Bea), and Michael and Bea’s children, Arthur and Eloise; and her nieces – daughters of her late brother Hart – Erin Peikoff (Michael Weinstein) and their children, Joel, Max and Sylvie; and Sara (Peikoff) Zulyniak (Andy) and their children, Hartley, Oliver and Henry. Sadly, due to the risk of getting a respiratory infection during her illness, Karen was able to see Hartley, Oliver and Henry only once or twice, and dearly wished it could have been more. This was very difficult for Karen, who loved her nieces and missed seeing their children grow up. She loved them all the same, always checking in, and always asking for pictures and updates. When she talked about her closeness with Roberta, she recalled that Roberta’s first memory was being walked to kindergarten, not with her mom, but with her sister.

Those who knew Karen will remember her for her warmth, generosity, sense of humour and strength. She was popular, vivacious and a genuinely nice person. She was a wonderful cook, housekeeper and generous host. She had friends going back to her preteens. For nearly 70 years, her two best friends, Robin and Candice, kept in close contact, and were honoured to be pallbearers at her funeral. She also spent a lot of time with her cousin, Shawn, during her childhood and teens. Karen loved to read and always had her Kindle book with her. Karen loved to travel and together with Andy, regularly made it a winter holiday to go to St. Maarten and Nuevo Vallarta. They also travelled to Europe on several occasions. These were beautiful years with lots of adventures and meeting a lot of people with whom they continued their friendships. On her travels, she always picked up elephant figurines, which fill two shelves in their home. One elephant would be on her necklace almost every day for the last several years. Karen’s niece, Erin, commented that Karen was beautiful, with impeccable style, and had a wardrobe she and Sara would long for as girls.

Karen also loved going up to the cabin at Willow Island, just south of Gimli. Over the years she and Andy spent a lot of weekends there. On June 25, they decided to go to the cabin for the last time, however, early in their stay, Karen suffered acute respiratory failure. She was rushed to the Gimli Emergency Room, where Dr. Ludwig and Dr. Blelloch, along with the nursing team, worked intensively for over an hour to successfully resuscitate her. She remained at Gimli Hospital for two weeks where she received excellent, competent care for which they were very grateful. Upon discharge from the hospital, they decided to remain at the cabin for a further two weeks, finishing what they knew would be their last vacation together. It was very peaceful, but her shortness of breath continued to get worse, so they returned to the city on July 26. She passed away two weeks later.

Her biggest wish was to grow old together and spend the time travelling and do things she loved to do together. Unfortunately, she was unable to pursue these dreams due to the progressive limitation of her COPD, which she developed over 10 years ago. This was further complicated by Covid. Her condition got worse in the past six months and especially in the past few weeks. She fought this disease with courage and bravery. She clearly said that no one except those suffering with this disease can fully understand what it is like. She did not want to go back to the hospital, and she did not want any caregivers to be by her side. It was our choice to take care of all her needs at home in the last two weeks. The palliative care team from the provincial healthcare was excellent beyond belief in terms of how they helped. They were competent, compassionate, and took excellent care of Karen with daily visits to make sure she had everything she needed.

When it was obvious that the end was near, we were fortunate to have Rabbi Matthew Leibl come to our home to meet Karen on a couple of occasions. She told him that she was not scared to die. She said that she was scared to live one more day the way too many of the days had been for her at the end. He indicated that he could understand when they say that death is better than a life of pain, and eternal rest is better than a constant sickness.

During the last few days, Karen was surrounded by Andy, her sister, her family, her nieces and her two longest childhood friends, who gave her whatever comfort she needed.

In keeping with Karen’s wishes, a graveside funeral was held at the Shaarey Zedek Cemetery on August 12. Rabbi Leibl held the service, and his care is very much appreciated.

We also extend our thanks to Karen’s family doctor, Dr. Michael Hochman, who always gave his time, understanding, and explanations throughout Karen’s illness.

Donations can be made on Karen’s behalf to the Manitoba Lung Association, MS Canada or Parkinson Canada.

Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal.

Love leaves a memory that no one can steal.

May her memory be a blessing and may she rest in peace.

Gerald Kalef passed away on August 1, 2026 at the age of 98. He is survived by his beloved wife Penny, daughter and son-in-law Susan and Eric, granddaughters, Michaela, Chloe and Emily, sisters-in-law and brother-in-law, Cheryl Kalef, Susan Wall, Reisa Libling, Tannis and Marshall Peikoff and many cousins, nephews and nieces.

Gerry was predeceased by his parents, Edward and Anne, sister Myrle, brothers, Lawrence and Harvey, and daughter Marni.

Born in Regina, Saskatchewan on June 24, 1928, Gerry’s formative years were spent in Regina, Toronto and Winnipeg. Following his graduation as a chartered accountant from the University of Manitoba in 1955, Gerry served as managing partner of Tadman, Hornstein, Kalef. He was appointed the honoured designation F.C.A., Fellow Chartered Accountant, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to his profession. Gerry’s integrity, acumen, and mentorship to his colleagues was legendary. At the age of 60, Gerry established and led a new partnership through which he would ultimately build and operate Riverwood Square, an Assisted Living and Supportive Housing Facility in Fort Garry. His vision was to provide a home for seniors with dignity, where exemplary care is fundamental. Gerry proudly served as managing partner of Riverwood Square until his 95th year.

Gerry’s volunteer work was extensive, spanning many decades. He served numerous non-profit and charitable organizations including the Combined Jewish Appeal, Shaarey Zedek Synagogue, National Council of Jewish Women, the Jewish Historical Society, the Sharon Home/Saul and Claribel Simkin Centre, Ramah Hebrew School, Mount Carmel Clinic, Skills Unlimited/Steps2work, the Institute of Chartered Accountants Foundation, the Estate Planning Council of Winnipeg, and the Long Term and Continuing Care Association of Manitoba. Gerry was a past president of Glendale Golf and Country Club.

Relationship was of central importance to Gerry. He cherished his family and thoughtfully maintained connection with his relatives, friends and professional and business associates throughout his life.

The family is greatly appreciative for the wonderful care given by his exceptional caregivers and Drs. Slutchuk, Edward, Hayes, Manusow, Aguayo, Sheps and Stillwater.

We are deeply saddened by his passing and immensely grateful for a life well-lived. Donations in Gerry’s memory may be made to Chesed Shel Emes, the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba or a charity of choice.

Lillian Neaman (nee Cantor), beloved life partner, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and the best friend anyone could ever ask for passed away on August 21st at the age of 92, following a brief and courageous battle with cancer.
Left to cherish her memory are her loving life partner of 44 years, Doug Skoog; her four children, Dale Marcus , Barbara Neaman, (Allan Finkel) Francie Neaman and Larry Neaman (Karine Liswood); five granddaughters, Blaire Malkin (Rob Bastress), Lexi Malkin (Mark Newberg) Gabrielle Chartrand, (John Chartrand) Jillian Swan (Alain Clement) and Alix (Trevor Boryskavich); and three great-grandchildren, Arlo and Della Anne Bastress and Julian Newberg. She was predeceased by her former husband Jack Neaman, her parents, Alex and Anne Cantor; her sister Phyllis; and brother-in-law Marshall Wilder.
Lillian was born in Winnipeg on February 16th, 1934. She grew up in the North End where she attended Machray Elementary and St John’s High School. She formed lifelong friendships during those early years, many of which remained important to her throughout her life.
Lillian was a lifelong learner and believed deeply in the importance of education. She encouraged all her children to pursue their education and modeled that philosophy herself, by enrolling at the University of Winnipeg to obtain her Bachelor’s degree at the age of 47.
Lillian will be fondly remembered for her love of family and friends, and for the respect and affection she earned from all who knew her. She was a dedicated volunteer and gave generously of her time to many non-profit organizations, including the National Council for Jewish Women, the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, the Gwen Secter Creative Living Center, and CancerCare, Manitoba.
She was also an astute and successful businesswoman. In 1996 she was named Manitoba Woman Entrepreneur of the Year. For many Winnipeggers, however, she will always be remembered as the owner of the Paper Gallery, which she owned and operated from 1976 to 1996.
Never one to sit still, Lillian was a consummate hostess. She and Doug loved entertaining and hosted countless elegant dinners for family and friends. She was also a talented gardener, and many people walking along the Crescent would stop to admire their lush and lovingly tended yard and garden. Lillian was an accomplished knitter who made beautiful afghans for family and friends, and especially for those who were struggling with illness. She often made them with the hope that they would bring comfort- and they became, in many ways, her own special kind of healing blankets.
Lillian’s funeral was held at Chesed Shel Emes on August 24th 2026. Honorary pallbearers were Fred and Charlie Finlayson, Dennis and Jean Giguere, Audrey Weidman and David and Leslie Wilder. Pallbearers were: Blaire and Lexi Malkin, Gabrielle and Jillian Swan, Alix Neaman and John Chartrand.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dick Daniel Bell on July 19, 2026, at the age of 98. Although our hearts are filled with sadness, we find comfort in knowing that he is reunited with his beloved wife of nearly seventy years, Minnie Bell (née Bay), who predeceased him on June 8, 2025. Their love story was one of unwavering devotion, quiet partnership, and unconditional love—a love that shaped generations of their family.
Dick’s greatest joy was always his family. He leaves behind his loving children: Joady Bell (Larry Bloom); David Bell; Karyn Burleigh (Paul); and Debby Brown (Bobby). He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren: Cory; Breanne; Jenna (Adam); Jordan (Kady); Jason; Jonah (Danielle); and Justin. In addition he leaves his precious great-grandchildren: Charlize; Zack; Mimi and Eva. Each carries forward the love, kindness, and values he instilled in them throughout his life.
He was predeceased by his parents, Helen and David Bell, and his siblings, Morley and Lucille. He was affectionately known as “Zadie” by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren—a title he wore with immense pride. He is also lovingly remembered by his nieces and nephews: Tannis Mindell (Sheldon); Glenda Segal (David); Les Silver (Andi); Fern Goldman; Narvey Goldman (Mara); and Andi Bell.
Born in Winnipeg on December 28, 1927, Dick attended Luxton School and St. John’s Tech, graduating in 1945. He celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at the Jewish Orphanage Synagogue in 1941. Dick developed a passion for music at the age of nine when he first sat down at a piano. Music became the soundtrack of his life. By seventeen he was performing professionally, and while attending the University of Manitoba he formed his own orchestra, entertaining audiences throughout Winnipeg and beyond. Even in his later years, the familiar sound of his beloved Chickering Louis XV baby grand piano, one of his most treasured possessions, filled his home with warmth, laughter, and memories. Family members could always count on hearing a few favourite tunes, especially the Bugs Bunny melodies, which always brought smiles.
Dick’s professional life reflected the same qualities that defined him personally—hard work, integrity, and kindness. In 1948, Dick joined the family business, Western Smallware and Stationery Co. Ltd. After joining Western Smallware, he met the woman who would forever change his life. Minnie became not only his wife, but his partner in every sense of the word. Together they created a home filled with warmth, generosity, and unconditional love. In 1979, Dick founded Dick Bell Agencies and began representing toy manufacturers throughout Canada. Years later, with great pleasure, he welcomed his youngest daughter, Debby, into the business and proudly shared that chapter of his life with her.
Above all else, Dick was devoted to his family. He was a loving husband, a proud father, an adoring grandfather and great-grandfather, and a loyal friend. His gentle spirit, generous heart, quiet wisdom, and wonderful sense of humour made everyone around him feel welcome and loved. He delighted in telling corny jokes that, invariably, brought much laughter to family gatherings.
Dick and Minnie embraced life together. They traveled the world on more than thirty cruises, creating adventures and memories that they treasured. Yet for Dick, no trip ever compared to the joy he derived from simply being surrounded by his family. Whether celebrating holidays, birthdays, or ordinary Sunday afternoons, he was happiest when with those he loved. Camera in hand, he faithfully preserved countless family moments – not because they were extraordinary, but because he believed every moment together was worth remembering.

Dick and Minnie were devoted members of Shaarey Zedek Synagogue throughout their married life and generously supported many causes close to their hearts, including the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, the Combined Jewish Appeal, and the State of Israel. Their faith was reflected not only in what they believed, but in how they lived—with generosity, humility, compassion, and gratitude.
At the age of 58, Dick underwent quintuple bypass surgery—a life-changing event for both him and Minnie. From that day forward, Minnie devoted herself to his health and well-being, carefully managing his heart-healthy lifestyle and encouraging his daily walks. Her unwavering love and care, combined with Dick’s determination, helped him enjoy many more years of good health and precious time with his family.
One of Dick’s final gifts to his family was the autobiography he wrote, preserving the remarkable story of his life for generations to come. But those who knew him understand that his true legacy cannot be contained within the pages of a book. It lives in every lesson he quietly taught, every family tradition he helped create, every melody played on the piano, every photograph he carefully took, every joke lovingly repeated, and every life he touched with his kindness.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to Dick’s compassionate caregivers, Mae, Emmanda, Tammy, Sandra , Estela and Nette for the loving care they provided both at home and when Minnie and Dick transitioned to the Simkin Centre.
The family wants to especially acknowledge a number of individuals for their exemplary care and devotion to Dick – Dr.John Rabson, Dr. Grant Goldberg ,Dr. Marni Wiseman and Dr. Wayne Manishen. We are also deeply grateful to the dedicated staff of the Simkin Centre.
Dick lived a remarkable life, but those who loved him will remember something even more remarkable: the way he made each person feel valued, welcomed, and loved. His gentle presence was a blessing to all who knew him, and his love will continue to live on in the hearts of his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all whose lives he enriched.
We will miss him beyond words, love him always, and carry his memory with us forever.
For those who wish, donations in Dick’s memory may be made to the Saul & Claribel Simkin Centre, the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, or the Congregation Shaarey Zedek, Choir and Music Fund.
