The Columbus Centre in Toronto welcomed more than 300 guests with food, wine, fashion, art and conversation at Saluti a Jerusalem. The cross-cultural event, hosted by Villa Charities and the Jerusalem Foundation of Canada, was in celebration of the historical ties and enduring friendship between Canada’s Italian and Jewish communities. Generous donors helped raise $165,000 towards building Giardino Canadese, a garden by Canada House in Jerusalem that will further cultivate Jewish-Italian fellowship.
