Quote: Crowe Helps Out Montreal Jewish School
Oscar-winning actor Russell Crowe was so distraught by a firebombing at a Jewish elementary school in Canada, he's offered to help rebuild its library. Crowe, who is currently in Toronto filming Cinderella Man, learned of the horrific act, which took place in Montreal, and decided to help the school get back on its feet. United Talmud Torahs elementary school was fire-bombed earlier this month and police said a note with anti-Semitic comments was found on the outside wall of the gutted library. Montreal resident Shelley Paris says, "It was a huge morale boost for the school community. He said he was very upset about what had happened that a place of learning should be attacked that way. He wanted to make sure that our students knew that he was thinking about them and that he was very upset about the firebombing." Paris says the school hopes to reopen the library by August - the start of the new school year - and has received donations and support from across the country.
