This past year has proven to be one of the biggest challenges we had to face all around the world. No matter the trials and tribulations, Canadian Friends of Sheba has remained a strong voice in the community through its support of Sheba Medical Center. This year, we came together to create our 昀椀rst gala hosted by Canadian Friends of Sheba. Sheba Under the Stars, held in May 2021, was a glamourous virtual evening with live entertainment as well as informative presentations on lifestyle choices by leading experts in the 昀椀eld including Dr. Rani Polak, Dr. Joe Schwarcz, Prof. Michal Beeri and Michael Avery. Canadian Friends of Sheba added some spice to the local community with culinary creativity! Dr. Polak spoke about Sheba’s wellness center and its current research. Dr. Joe Schwarcz discussed the chemistry of wine and its many bene昀椀ts, and Prof. Michal Beeri reminded us how we can remain healthy to prevent Alzheimer’s. Attendees of the event enjoyed a live wine tasting together with their wine and chocolate gift bags and entertainment from the event’s host Stacey Kay, Juno Award Winner and America’s Got Talent Finalist.
