On July 10, Calgary’s Partnership2GetherChair, Cathy Cole, was on hand to receive a cheque from Jewish Community Foundation of Calgaryin support of two projects in our region. Thanks to Jewish Community Foundation of Calgary, Kibbutz Menara will now be equipped with new daycare equipment and the Metualla community centre will be receiving Gymboree equipment. These projects will enable families to connect, keep their children close by during the day, and enhance the living conditions of the northernmost regions of the country. A sincere thank you and Toda Raba to Jewish Community Foundation of Calgary for supporting these significant projects.
On July 10, the
sanctuary at the Chabad Calgary Campus was dedicated in memory of Sam Ousher Switzer on the occasion of his first yahrtzeit. A Stampede BBQ was also held - a passion of Mr. Switzer's - along with games and activities for children.
Minister Tyler Shandro, along with Rabbi Matusof and members of the Switzer family, provided greetings to hundreds of community members. A dedication plaque now hangs proudly in the sanctuary.
Yasher Koach to
Chabad Lubavitch of Alberta and the Switzer family!
