Your gifts to UJA connect us to Israel’s younger generation
The New Year brings us many good things, and among them is the arrival of eight highly motivated and enthusiastic young Israelis, grade nine students from Emek Hahula Regional High School. These students, along with two of their teachers, are in Edmonton from October 11 to 23 as part of the UJA-funded P2G Gesher Chai Program, a partnership between the Galilee Panhandle region and the Jewish communities of Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Halifax and Ottawa. The kids have been warmly welcomed for home stays with five Edmonton families, celebrating holidays, getting acquainted with their hosts, and experiencing a taste of daily life in a Canadian Jewish Community. Over the past few days, they have had lots of learning opportunities, but also lots of fun. They attended services at Beth Israel, visited the WEM water park, The Telus World of Science, and went to an Oil Kings game. When asked what surprised them about Edmonton, one of the students replied that she was surprised by the incredible support and solidarity she observed in our Jewish Community. Thanks to your gifts to UJA, these young Israelis have a better understanding of Jewish life in the Diaspora and a life-long connection to our Edmonton Jewish Community.
Your gift to the 2019/20 UJA Campaign makes P2G possible.
