ezrin, hershell<br />

Ezrin was active on behalf of a number of Toronto Jewish<br />

organizations, including the Holy Blossom Temple Foundation,<br />

the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care, and Mount Sinai<br />

Hospital. He also served as an adviser to both the State of Israel<br />

Bonds and the Canada-Israel Committee. He also served the<br />

broader community in numerous capacities, most notably as<br />

chair of the Board of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and<br />

wrote widely on public affairs.<br />

<strong>In</strong> 2004 Ezrin became CEO of the Canadian Council for<br />

Israel and Jewish Advocacy (CIJA), an organization established<br />

by the Jewish federations in 2004 to lobby on behalf of the organized<br />

Jewish community on both domestic and Israel-related<br />

matters. As the first CEO of CIJA, which includes oversight<br />

of both the Canada-Israel Committee and the Canadian<br />

Jewish Congress, Ezrin had the task of giving the Canadian<br />

Jewish community effective direction and a strong and effective<br />

voice in the larger Canadian community.<br />
