The JUMP centre, located at 7751 Yonge St., a property owned by Claude Bitton, is a place that was established for the purpose of encouraging the social, spiritual and intellectual growth of Jewish students and young professionals. It is due to Claude Bitton’s philanthropy that JUMP was able to find the right place for their community activities and growth.
