Join Inclusion powered by Calgary Jewish Federation for Food for the Soul on Sunday, September 12 at 2:30pm. Enjoy a celebratory Rosh HaShanah program with delicious food from Karen's Café and a fantastic time with Rabbi Leonard Cohen as he shares about our Jewish High Holidays. This free event will be hosted at the Paperny Family JCC with COVID protocols in place. For those who choose to join us virtually, pick up your food at the JCC on September 12 at noon and then join us on Zoom at 2:30pm. As spots are limited, registration is required. RSVP (with how many people) by September 1 via email to Karina Szulc. Generously sponsored by The Lenny and Faigel Shapiro and Family Fund.
High Holidays are right around the corner! Send your loved ones a Calgary Jewish FederationChag Sameach tribute card and at the same time, support important Jewish community programs. There are three options to choose from: send an e-card, have us send a printed card on your behalf, or have us put a message in the printed card and you pick them up and add your own personal touch.
In Calgary, 130 children are now members of PJ Our Way® (PJOW), the next chapter of PJ Library® for readers nine to 12. With PJOW, subscribers choose the books they wish to receive every month, rather than automatically receiving a free book in the mail. Preteens enjoy more autonomy in their reading choices and are invited to participate in online discussions and reviews of their books. PJOW Calgary offers regular virtual programs, collaborating with PJOW communities in Canada and the US, giving our preteens an opportunity to engage with their peers in Calgary and beyond. Register for PJOW online or email Kathie Wainer for more information.
At noon (MDT) on Sunday, October 3, we will gather for our 2021 General Assembly to reflect, learn, and explore several important areas of Jewish life that are on our communal agenda at this critical time. The last year has seen dramatic events with far-reaching consequences for the Jewish community, from the pandemic to thousands of rockets falling across Israel. And we have shown, once again, that when we work together we can tackle anything. Assembling together, even virtually, is a powerful way to inspire, recognize, and support one another as we prepare for the year ahead. We hope you will join us and register for this free event. Open to all Federation stakeholders, partners, and the broader Jewish community.
Building an inclusive community is our priority. Contact us and we will make every effort to meet your needs.
