CJPAC - Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee
|
With the federal election just around the corner, it’s a great time to talk about how YOU can participate in the political discussion in Canada.
While there are many community organizations doing great work, the Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee (
CJPAC
) and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (
CIJA
) specialize in the political arena. While we both exist to serve our community, our approaches are different, and our mandates often get mixed up. It’s easy to lose track of what all those letters mean.
