Edgar M. Bronfman, doctorat ès lettres honoris causa
Ancien président du conseil de Seagram
Edgar Bronfman préside la Fondation Samuel Bronfman et s’occupe directement des nombreux organismes et programmes qu’elle appuie, dont plusieurs sont dédiés à la jeunesse et à l’éducation, comme la Fondation Hillel (Foundation for Jewish Campus Life) et MyJewishLearning.com. Dans Hope, Not Fear: A Path to Jewish Renaissance, il expose sa vision d’une « renaissance juive », un sujet qui a beaucoup mobilisé son attention. Ses engagements ont par ailleurs eu des répercussions positives en dehors de la communauté juive et son humanisme lui a valu une grande renommée internationale.
