Saidye Rosner Bronfman

Saidye Rosner Bronfman

Saidye Rosner Bronfman, was the mother and grandmother of the Bronfman family, one of the most influential Jewish families in the world. The family was made famous by her husband, Samuel Bronfman (1891–1971), who made a fortune in the distilled alcoholic beverages business during the 20th century through his Seagram Company. The family is of Canadian heritage and most members of the family are Canadian citizens.

In 1952, her husband Sam, established the Samuel & Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation, one of Canada’s major private granting foundations. The Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts was named for her. The Centre's founding artistic director was Marion Andre (12 January 1920–10 May 2006, Le Havre, France).
