On May 13, 2010 members of the Rabbi Peretz Weizman Tribute Committee came together for a photo-op to present a cheque for $43, 941 to Marsha Cowan, Jewish Foundation of Manitoba CEO.
These monies will go towards the establishment of the Rabbi Peretz Weizman Holocaust Education Trust fund, housed at the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba. Proceeds from the Fund will support the establishment and maintenance of a Holocaust education display showcase located at the entrance to the Freeman Family Foundation Holocaust Education Centre at the Asper Jewish Community Campus, as a lasting legacy to and in the name of Rabbi Peretz Weizman.
By establishing this Fund, projects and programs will be made available to further educate individuals about human rights and the Holocaust. The display will be managed by the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada.
