History / Biographical: The Jewish Legion was the name for five battalions of Jewish volunteers established by the British Army as the 38th and 39th Battalions of the Royal Fusiliers during the First World War, in Palestine who fought for the liberation of Erez Israel [region] from the Turkish rule. It was formed when Britain began his war against the Ottoman Turks. At the same time, Zionist [A Jewish political movement that arose in the late 19th century in response to growing anti-Semitism and sought to reestablish a sovereign Jewish homeland in Palestine.] around the world saw an opportunity to promote the idea of a Jewish National Homeland in Palestine; therefore, some Jewish people raised the idea of the formation of a Jewish unit that would participate to conquer Palestine. At the beginning of the war, the British government opposed the participation of such as group of people in Palestine, but in 1917 ultimately, the formation of a Jewish regiment was officially announced. The Legion also named the Zion Mule Corps, made up Jewish from different countries such as Britain, Russia, the United States and Canada, served on the Gallipoli front in 1915-1916, and also in the Jordan Valley in 1918. The Jewish Legion was a unique regiment who had been awarded, in the late 1919, a distinctive cap badge; a menorah. After the war, some of the members returned to their respective countries while others settled in Palestine to realize their Zionist aspirations.

History / Biographical: Ami Hai (meaning my people live) was formed in 1970 when Sylvia Rosenes and Iris Jurek's Jewish dance class combined with a group of male dancers led by Dr. Roger Wells. It evolved as a performing group from a series of folk dance programs offered by the Jewish Community Centre to the Ottawa dance community. The Company drew its dancers from both within the Jewish community as well as from other ethnic roots. Company members have combined their formal dance training with a specific interest in perpetuating the style and character of the dances of Israel and the Jewish people. For this, the Company owes much of its success to noted Israeli dance personality Moshiko whose career as a choreographer was influenced by the centuries-old cultural traditions of the Yemenites and other Middle Eastern communities living in Israel. All of the dances, Yemenite, Hassidic and modern, were created by Moshiko. Performance highlights included the National Arts Centre, Ontario Place, Bishops University, Laval University and "Ontario on Parade", a Folk Arts Council presentation which toured Olympic sites in 1976. Ami Hai placed among the top three companies in Canada at the International Molson's awards in Toronto in 1978.
