- Administrative History
- The University of Toronto Menorah Society (1917) was founded on 11 October 1917, as a constituent of the Intercollegial Menorah Society formed at Harvard in 1906. Its purpose, as stated in the Torontonenensis Yearbook of 1918, was “to study Jewish history and culture and modern Jewish life and thought.” The Menorah Society was non-sectarian and open to members of the university of any faith.
During its tenure the Menorah Society published the Menorah Journal and the Menorah Mentor magazine. Bi-weekly meetings held at the University YMCA featured lectures by prominent speakers, or student forums, and had an average attendance of two hundred people. The Menorah Society organized study circles, debates, annual plays, a “smoker” (party for men only), teas, and dances. It also maintained a Jewish Collection at the University Library. As Greek-letter fraternities proliferated at the University in the 1920s, the popularity of the Menorah Society waned, and it dissolved in 1931.
The University of Toronto Menorah Society grew out of a series of organizations for Jewish students at U of T in the early twentieth century, a Toronto Hebrew Students’ association and a Yiddish club. Both these organizations and the Menorah Society were Predecessors of Hillel.

- The Ontario Camps Association was established by the Zionist Organization of Canada as a regional administrative body reponsible for overseeing the operation of the ZOC-owned summer camps in Ontario. The Regional Executive Vice-President was in charge of supervising the Ontario Camps Association which also included the Ontario Zionist Region Committee on Camping. In addition to being charged with the general maintenence, upkeep, and operation of the Ontario camps, the Ontario Camps Association was also responsible for implementing the standards and guidelines set forth by the National Camps Association.
- The Ontario Camps Association oversaw the operation of three camps in Ontario: Camp Shalom, Camp Solelim, and Camp Massad. Responsibility for Camp Biluim was shared by the Ontario Camps Association and the National Camps Association. Although it was located in the Ontario region, it was a leadership training institute and thus of national significance.
