Great news! Calgary Jewish Federation is re-launching the Community Calendar! This is a great resource for those who want to know what's going on in Jewish Calgary, and for our community agencies to promote their various programs and special events. Starting Monday October 5, you will be able to view it online. If you are submitting calendar requests, we ask for your patience as it may take up to a week to respond.
On October 25-27, we invite you to participate in JFNA'sVirtual General Assembly 2020, an event like the Jewish world has never experienced. This gathering is a pivotal moment for each and every member of our community to connect, reflect, and celebrate being together. Check out the trailer and join us for the gathering of the decade! #GA2020
On September 29 Calgary Hillel joined with Hillel Winnipeg and Hillel International to launch our inaugural JLF: Jewish Learning Fellowship. Fifteen students from both cities come together, virtually, once a week for 10 weeks to learn about Judaism and Torah with Rabbinic interns from Jewish Theological Seminary. Upon completion of the fellowship, participants will have developed new tools for understanding and thinking critically about their Jewishness. In addition they will receive a $180 stipend. For more information on JLF and other Hillel virtual initiatives, email Danielle Braitman.
Shabbat Shalom!
Building an inclusive community is our priority. Contact us and we will make every effort to meet your needs.
