Together We are Strong. This spring, as rockets rained down on our brothers and sisters in Israel, Jews in the diaspora faced one of the worst spikes in antisemitism in the last decade – especially our students and young people. Events like this are something that our community grapples with on an ongoing basis. However, through providing vitally important programs year-round such as community security, government relations initiatives, and support programs for students and young people (such as Hillel Calgary), your UJA gift continues to provide our community with the resources it needs to stay strong, safe, and united even in the most difficult situations. Your UJA gift is vital. Donate today.
Building an inclusive community is our priority. Contact us and we will make every effort to meet your needs.
