	Ken Auletta :: Articles - Rising Son
		Bronfman, who had not been in his office for two days, was rumored to have scheduled a press conference for seven-thirty that night, to announce that Seagram, the six-billion-dollar spirits, wine, beverage, and investment company, would raise its Time Warner stock holdings from almost fifteen per cent to outright ownership.
		Edgar, Sr., who was then fifty-one and had run the company since his father's death, in 1971, had a purpose in asking to meet with his son.
		Bronfman's next major acquisition owes something to a 1985 trip he made to Asia as one of about thirty leading business executives--a trip sponsored by Time, Inc. In South China and elsewhere in Asia, Bronfman was stunned at the popularity of cognac--a legacy of the French colonial era--which is usually drunk with ice and water.

		Leibler elicited the wrath of Bronfman and Singer after he called in an internal memo for an audit of financial irregularities, including an off-the-books bank account worth $1.2 million reportedly transferred to a friend of Singer, who later explained that the funds were intended for the "pensions" of WJC personnel, himself included.
		Singer convinced Bronfman to assume the top position of the organization, despite the fact that Bronfman, as he wrote in his autobiography, in his youth turned his back on the Jewish religion in protest against his domineering father.
		Bronfman and Singer, for their part, have accused Leibler of using his demand for a financial audit as an excuse to increase his power inside the organization.

		It almost seems that Bronfman was predestined for the role he says he never envisioned but has now found himself in: serving as a driving force behind efforts to connect people to Judaism and draw Jews to — or back to — their Jewish roots.
		The Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel is one of the flagship projects of The Samuel Bronfman Foundation and for the past 18 years, it has been educating and inspiring exceptional young Jews from diverse backgrounds to become active participants in Jewish culture.
		Bronfman recalls his father teaching him as a young boy that “we need to leave this world a little better than we found it.” It is certainly clear that he will do that.
