Heather Leonoff Dept: Long before daycare centres became common, widowed Jewish fathers in Winnipeg could leave their children for the day at a Jewish orphanage while they went to work, according to Winnipeg Free Press. TO celebrate the twin anniversaries, the JCFS is holding a gala on May 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the Fort Garry Hotel and bORIS MINKEVICH / Executive director Emily Shane left and president Heather Leonoff of Jewish Child and Family Services are celebrating the 60th birthday of the organization. This was 1912 and some other Jewish families needed the orphanage to serve as a type of residential school where the children would stay for longer periods of time to be raised while getting a Jewish education.
