This book highlights the lives of Jewish Edmontonians who made outstanding contributions, whether professional, voluntary or philanthropic, to enhance life in the City of Edmonton and beyond. These stories are included because of the unique accomplishments of the individuals, who were all leading figures in Edmonton's Jewish and general communities. Our previous book, From Generation to Generation: Jewish Edmontonians as Heritage Builders, featured Jewish Edmontonians of the past; this latest book is evidence that the tradition of service to one's community has continued here in Edmonton. These are Jewish Edmontonians who in recent years have been making noteworthy contributions to our city through their exemplary community, professional and voluntary service in many fields. They personify the Jewish traditions of tikkun olam (healing the world); tzedakah (philanthropy) and kehila (dedication to community). We hope you will enjoy their stories and be inspired by them.

Shoctor, Debby: - For more than three decades, Debby Shoctor has been one of the people knitting together Jewish life in Edmonton-preserving its past in the archives, widening its cultural footprint, and steering the city's central communal organization through years of change. Her career has run the gamut of the institutions that anchor Jewish Edmonton: B'nai Brith Edmonton, Hadassah-WIZO, the old Jewish Community Centre, the Jewish Archives and Historical Society of Edmonton and Northern Alberta (JAHSENA), and the Jewish Federation of Edmonton.Her background in English, Journalism, publishing and Library Science has helped her in her writing, editing, and community service careers. A graduate of the University of Toronto; King's College, Dalhousie; and the University of Alberta, she moved from Toronto to Edmonton in 1987, where she became deeply involved in the life of the Jewish and general communities, and never looked back. She worked in publishing for the Ontario Government, Prentice-Hall Canada, and Lone Pine Publishing, as well as freelancing for the Edmonton Journal, the local Jewish newspapers, and other publications.
