- History / Biographical
- Zev Vered (b.1926 - d. June 9, 2008) was born Zev ben Arye leb (Wolf Wirth) in Oberhausen, Germany. In 1935 the family of six escaped Hitler's Germany and moved to Palestine. Zev did not graduate high school, but rather had to work to help support the family. He became a commander in the Haganah and fought in the War of Independence. In 1948 he also met his future wife, Sara. Sara Charpak was born in Tel Aviv in 1930 to Russian-Ukrainian immigrant parents, and grew up in Jerusalem. She was a teenager when she served as a wireless operator in the War of Independence. She was stationed first at the Hebrew University, and was in Jerusalem during the siege. She was subsequently sent to the southern front. After 1948, Sara graduated from an accelerated course for teachers, and taught young children in an absorption centre near Ramat Gan. Sara and Zev moved to Canada to study after marrying in 1950. Both attended McGill University and were the institution's first Israeli students. Zev studied Engineering and graduated with his Bachelor of Engineering in 1954. Sara studied Political Science-Economics until the birth of first child, Gilad. In 1956 Zev and Sara moved to Ottawa where he established thriving construction and development companies (Arnon Development Corp., Ron Engineering and Construction, Gilad Parking) and worked on many high-profile projects. He was married for 58 years to Sara, with whom he had three children: Gilad, Arnon and Ron. In 1978, Sara received a B.A. in Art History and Religion from Carleton University. She was the recipient of an honorary doctorate from the University of Ottawa in 1988. Zev became a leading builder in Ottawa, taking on the reconstruction of the Peace Tower, the construction of the Nortel Skyline Campus and numerous other office buildings in the city. He was most proud of the new city hall complex in Jerusalem that his company designed and built in the 1990s. Zev endowed the University of Ottawa’s Heart Institute, making an extraordinary impact on its evolution. He established scholarships at Carleton and McGill University. With Sara, he established the Vered Israel Cultural and Educational program at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre and the Vered Jewish Canadian Studies Program at the University of Ottawa. He was an active volunteer and philanthropist in the Jewish and non-Jewish communities, a recipient of an honorary doctorate from the University of Ottawa in 1988, and an Order of Canada recipient in 2003. With Zev, Sara was a dedicated supporter of the National Gallery and its Foundation, and among its Founding Partners, as well as a Docent. She continues to be a great friend to institutions of higher learning in the National Capital Region, as well as the National Arts Centre. Sara is also involved in scientific and educational exchanges, notably the Weizmann Institute Charpak/Vered Exchange Fellowship. She has served on numerous Boards, has chaired numerous projects and events (UJA, CICF) and lectured widely. Sara and Zev were presented with the Outstanding Individual Philanthropist Award from the NSFRE in 1999. Zev died at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute on June 9, 2008. Sara Vered is one of 15 recipients of the first Order of Ottawa awards, and was inducted into the Order during a formal ceremony at City Hall on November 22, 2012. In 2013 she was appointed to the Order of Canada for her leadership in Ottawa’s voluntary sector and for her support of education, health care, and organizations dedicated to art and culture.
