About One Family Fund Canada
One Family Fund was founded in 2002 by Marc and Chantal Belzberg of Jerusalem after their daughter, Michal, opted to donate the money to be spent on her Bat Mitzvah party to benefit those affected by terror attacks in Israel. One Family has since grown to become the pre-eminent non-profit organization dedicated to providing short and long-term assistance to the injured and bereaved men, women and children in Israel.
In 2002 Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto adopted the first victim family, the Zinger family, after Baruch Zinger, a father of four children was murdered after dropping off his son’s friend at a bus stop. Shortly afterwards, several other synagogues in Toronto and Montreal also adopted families. In 2004 Pam Albert traveled to Israel and met with different organizations that help victims of terror and decided to spearhead support for Onefamily, after recognizing its role as the umbrella organization in Israel that helps both terror victims as well as the entire family unit and helps them find a way to get back to their pre-functioning attack level. The Toronto office opened in 2004.
