Together, WE CAN! Because of your generosity, our community's Jewish Together Fund has over $100,000 available to help our local agencies as they adapt their programs and services during these challenging times. Children, young adults, seniors, and others can engage in Jewish programs and services despite the obstacles presented by COVID-19. The Jewish Together Fund, as part of UJA, is focused on helping organizations adapt their programs to inspire and protect participants. 50% of increased gifts to UJA 2020 are placed into the fund, along with some very special dedicated gifts. Please consider what you might be able to do to help, too!
On Sunday, November 22, UJA is pleased to invite you to our community event with Noah Gardenswartz, sponsored by JAC. Noah, who is currently a writer on Amazon's Emmy and Golden-Globe winning show, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will deliver a comedy routine followed by a Q&A. Registration for this free event will open soon.
The delicious smell of Challah baking in homes around Calgary last night was due to PJ Library® and JCC's virtual Challah Bake at Home. Families picked up Challah at Home Kits, generously sponsored by Len and Faigel Shapiro, and were then guided in a step-by-step challah baking master class by the JCC's Nessie Hollander. It was a lively, interactive evening with children and parents baking together, singing Shabbat songs, and sharing anecdotes. The evening was made even more special knowing that we were one of over 1,500 communities around the world baking Challah together on November 5 as part of the Shabbat Project.
Shabbat Shalom!
