Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Montefiore Club : The Montefiore Club was organized in 1880 when a group of young men formed the Montefiore Social and Dramatic Club. The Club was named after the famous Jewish philanthropist, Sir Moses Montefiore. In 1882 the Club adopted the motto "Vestigia Nulla Restrorsum". In 1889 the Club was granted a charter by the Montreal City Council and in 1906 it was incorporated by a Special Act of the Quebec legislature. The Club erected its present facilities at 1195 Guy Street in 1905-06. Women were admitted to the ranks of the Club shortly after it was established.

The Club's membership has consistently had a keen sense of duty and responsibility to society at large. One of the primary aims of the Club is to foster good fellowship and promote the best examples of leadership in the Jewish community. Its members have always been in the forefront of philanthropic endeavours to promote the common good.
