Arnold Chippin, 69-70, was born in Fredericton.
Chippin was featured in the Winter 2022 edition of The Atlantic Jewish Council’s Shalom magazine describing how he was selected as the Jewish National Fund’s “Atlantic Honouree.”
The article states, “Arnold was raised with a strong work ethic under the guidance of his father, Joe (z’l) and with a strong spiritual belief in his religion and Jewish cultural traditions by his mother, Jennie (z’l). He came from a strong Zionist family, and so it followed that he would eventually make aliyah to Israel which he did after receiving his BA in sociology. Once there, he established himself by becoming fluent in the Hebrew language, worked on a kibbutz in the Negev and served in the IDF infantry. After completing his active service with the IDF, Arnold worked in Dimona, as a social worker. A few years later, Arnold returned to Canada to join his father in the Real Estate business which he currently runs with his sister Ruth.”
The article adds, “In Fredericton, Arnold, garnered a well-respected reputation as a land developer in his own right.” It continues, “He has served as President of the Sgoolai Israel Synagogue, currently serves on the Board of the Chevra Kiddisha, is a past recipient of the Atlantic Jewish Council Community Service Award, and remains a cornerstone of the Fredericton and Atlantic Jewish community today.”
Chippin wrote an article in the Winter 2019 edition of Shalom where he described his experience volunteering for Sar-El, a program designed to recruit lone soldiers for Israel.
Chippins also has a real estate business in Fredericton, and a profile on Realtor.
