Emunah Women is proud of the initiatives of Adrianne Drazin, Edie Friedman and Anat Toledano who successfully organized the first ever Shavuot Bake Sale for Emunah Women of Montreal on Monday, May 21, 2007. Sold out after only an hour and a half, homemade items were baked by women in the community including cheese cakes, challahs, cookies, squares, and many more yummy treats. Held at the home of Marla and Peter Veres, funds raised will help support the Crisis Centre for Children at Risk at Neve Michael, in Israel.

Emunah Women of Montreal is pleased to announce the success of our annual Benefit Evening in support of Neve Michael's Children's Village and Neve Sarah Herzog High School and Dormitory. Chaired by Baila Aspler, no detail was left to chance. Members and friends showed their support by attending this Benefit Evening at the elegant Sheraton Four Points, Plaza Volare Ballroom. Our guest speaker Yehuda Kohn, director of one of Emunah's children's homes in Israel, spoke from the heart of our children and what their needs are. Mr. Kohn has been instrumental in changing the course of life for hundreds of children, by providing them with a brighter, better and more secure future.
