As we approach 2021, we are grateful to our community's agencies and synagogues for their dedication and collaboration during these very unique times. The professionals and volunteer leaders we have in our community are second to none, and have continued to provide critical services and programs, keeping Jewish Calgary vibrant and thriving. While we still have significant challenges to navigate, we want to say Kol Hakavod!

Our community is powered by generosity, empathy, and pride. Donors in Jewish Calgary have really stepped up and ensured that all of the current programs and services provided by our partner agencies and directly by Calgary Jewish Federation can continue to be offered, even during these challenging times. In addition, our community will benefit from a number of special COVID resilience funds developed for this campaign, seeing close to $200,000 in additional support being provided to assist with programming and safety needs related to the pandemic. To all of you who have supported this year's UJA Campaign, we say Todah Rabah - Thank You! To those who have yet to contribute, it is not too late - every donation helps!

Keep safe and please let us know if you, or someone you know, requires assistance or help. We want to hear from you and we will make sure we connect you/them to the appropriate resources. Email us or give us a call at 403-444-3152.

Shabbat Shalom and Happy New Year! As we all try to enjoy a peaceful Shabbat and we dream of moving forward in 2021, Calgary Jewish Federation wishes you and those you love a very healthy, happy, and safe week.
