Don’t miss " Keep the Change ," a sweet, humorous and touching romantic comedy about an unlikely romance between two individuals who meet in a support group for people with special needs. Co-sponsored by Calgary Jewish Federation as part of our Inclusion Initiatives , the film is at the Beth Tzedec Jewish Film Festival on Sunday, November 19 at 1pm. 

What is Giving Tuesday ? It's an antidote to the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but mostly it's a reminder of how important it is to give generously. November 28 is Giving Tuesday . If you haven't made your gift to our community's UJA campaign , that would be a great day to do it. If you have, why not celebrate the day by adding $10 or $20 to your gift by texting COUNTS to 45678 ? Don't forget that you can also donate your time by volunteering for the Cellathon on Nov. 22. Sign up with Irena Karshenbaum 403-537-8594 .
