Reisman and her husband, Indigo director Gerry Schwartz, set up the Heseg Foundation for Lone Soldiers.

Heseg pays the tuition and living expenses of students who want to study in Israel after they finish their military service. The foundation’s website (www.heseg.com) says it aims to produce “the leaders of tomorrow.”

Over the last 48 hours, a spate of antisemitic attacks has occurred in Canada. Two Yeshivas were shot at in Montreal overnight on Wednesday.
