Dr. Jack Lipkin

Dr. Jack Lipkin, DMD, is the 2020 recipient of the George H. Moulton Lifetime Achievement Award for the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics.
“I’m quite humbled by having won this,” says Dr. Lipkin. “I was blown away.”

Dr. Lipkin is only the second Canadian to win this award which recognizes members who have made a significant impact and contribution to the art and science of fixed prosthodontics and who have demonstrated lifetime service to the field.

Dr. Lipkin received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1970 and his Doctor of Dental Medicine in 1974, both from the University of Manitoba. He remembers the moment he wanted to specialize in prosthodontics. He was attending a lecture by a local specialist in his second year of dentistry school. “I was smitten by the complexity of what he was doing, by the results they were getting, by the tremendous change in the quality of people’s lives,” says Dr. Lipkin. “That was it. Boom! That’s what I wanted to do.”

After 3 years of general practice, Dr. Lipkin returned to graduate studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where he received his specialty in Prosthodontics in 1979. Dr. Lipkin returned to Winnipeg and began practicing as a certified specialist in Prosthodontics.

Today, Dr. Lipkin runs his own practice, Dr. Jack Lipkin Prosthodontics & Dental Implants, and is an Assistant Professor at the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Dentistry. Dr. Lipkin is a member of the Pierre Fauchard Academy; a fellow of the International College of Dentists and President Elect of the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontists. Dr. Lipkin’s work has been published in the Journal of the Canadian Dental Association, Family Health and he continues to lecture internationally.

“I have treated a lot of patients and a lot of the cases were very memorable in terms of what we did for people,” says Dr. Lipkin, “but the singular most incredible event was getting this award.”

The George H. Moulton Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest honor bestowed by the Academy and recipients are nominated by members and then chosen by a standing committee of the Academy. Dr. Lipkin wishes to thank “everybody who’s shoulders I have stood on,” he says, “the people who were responsible for my education, for my career.”

U of M event commemorating October 7 attracts small crowd – and no protesters

By BERNIE BELLAN Is it noteworthy to lead a story by noting that an event at a university in North America which centered on Israel did not attract a single protester?
Such was the case at the University of Manitoba on October 7.
On that day, at noon, a small crowd that might have numbered 100 at its peak – made up largely of older adults, but with a sizable number of students as well, heard from various speakers marking a full year since the massacre of October 7.

Two students from something called Students Supporting Israel stood on the administration building’s top step


It was a gloriously sunny day and, as attendees gathered in front of the university administration building, we couldn’t help but wonder whether the event would be disrupted by anyone. There was a fence barricade at some distance from where people had gathered – apparently to keep a distance between those who were there to mark October 7 and anyone who had it in mind to disrupt what was happening. While there were some students who did station themselves behind that barricade, there was nary a peep – or at least a peep loud enough to be heard by anyone, from any of them.

Speakers at the university event included Belle Jarniewski, Executive Director of the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada, and Rabbi Kliel Rose of Etz Chayim Congregation.

But, what was most remarkable about this event was not that it was a relatively quiet affair, rather, in contrast with what is currently going on – again – on some campuses in the U.S. – in particular at Columbia and Berkeley -where the massacre of October 7 is now being glorified, the U of M was a model of restraint that day..
We’ve noted before that, while some Jewish students have been concerned for their safety at the U of M – relative to other campuses across North America, the U of M has not seen the kind of rabid antisemitism that has marked so many other campuses.

3 students – Emma, Nicole, & Adam, spoke about how October 7 had marked them. We’re sorry – we don’t know which one is Nicole and which one is Emma. We also don’t know the name of the student at the right – who introduced them. They left before we got a chance to talk to them. If anyone can supply us with the correct information, please send an email to jewishp@mymts.net

Marty Morantz’s remarks at the Walk for Israel October 7

One year since the world witnessed the worst attack on Jewish people since the Holocaust, when the genocidal, evil death of Hamas invaded Israel. One year, a brutal captivity for hostages taken only because they were Jewish. One year of shameful demonstrations by anti Semitic, too hating mobs, and incited hate in our streets.Today, we commit our memory to the 1,200 Israelis who were brutally murdered by mobs that day. Today, we stand in solidarity with the survivors, and we pray. For the safe return of all those still being held to Hamas, I say it’s time to let them all go. To Hamas, I say Israel is winning. And your genocidal plan to destroy Israel has failed. To you I say, from the river to the sea, the existence of Israel shall always be. This past year, synagogues have been fired on. Bullets have been fired at Jewish schools. Jewish students have been harassed on Canadian campuses. Jewish owned businesses have been vandalized. Anti Semitism is sadly out in the open. It is the world’s ugliest and most enduring form of hatred. It is an evil along with the evil Hamas death cult, will be defeated. Last November, I traveled to Israel to witness firsthand the devastation wrought by the monstrous murderers of Hamas. I visited and saw the burned up, shot up, blackened homes of the people of Kfar Ezzat. More haunting images I have never seen. I met the families of those killed and taken hostage. I made a promise to them, that I would bear witness to their suffering, to their pain, and to work to bring their loved ones home. Ours is a promise to keep, to bear witness, to work until every single hostage is home, and to not rest. Do not rest until every Jew, no matter where they live, and no matter where they work, and no matter where they go to school, lives safe and lives free. My friends, we can take comfort in knowing that despite the forces of evil, Jewish institutions in Canada still stand. Israel still stands. And I know. That 1,000 years from now, the echoes of millions of Jews around the world will still be heard saying now and forever. Am Yisrael Chai!
