This September, the Jewish community will turn the page in our calendar and usher in 5781. What is usually a time to gather with family to celebrate and reflect will be quite different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That's why this year, the Jewish Federations of Canada are coming together online as a vibrant national community of almost 400,000 to ring in the Jewish new year! Mark your calendar for the first-ever, virtual Canadian Rosh Hashanah party hosted by all the Canadian Jewish Federations on Sunday, September 13 at 5:30pm (MDT). This special event has an exciting lineup of both Canadians and Israelis, with something for everyone. Stay tuned for more details and registration.

Our community has shown incredible strength during these last number of months, but many organizations still have financial needs that are more than our annual UJA campaign can support. To offer additional assistance this year, the Jewish Together Fund will be supported by using 50% of the increased portion of every donation that is over and above the 2019 amount. Thank you for considering an increased gift to the UJA campaign this year. Donate now!
Building an inclusive community is our priority. Contact us and we will make every effort to meet your needs.
