We are thrilled to announce that our community raised over $2.55 million for the 2021 United Jewish Appeal Campaign. Despite 2021 being our second campaign in the midst of the pandemic, our community members continue to step up for one another. So much is made possible because of you, including: services for our most vulnerable, education, outreach and engagement, support for children and families, everyday community amenities, connections to Israel, and so much more. Todah rabah!
The United Nations designated January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. So we can collectively mark this important occasion, the World Jewish Congress launched the #WeRemember campaign. From now to January 27, join millions around the world by photographing yourself holding a sign that says #WeRemember and post it on social media. Many of the images will be projected on a screen at Auschwitz-Birkenau. In Canada, many landmarks – including the Calgary Tower and Central Library – will be illuminated in yellow on January 27 in remembrance of the Jewish souls lost during the Holocaust. Together, let us renew our collective vow: Never Again.
