A humanitarian crisis is now unfolding in Ukraine affecting the 200,000 members of the Ukrainian Jewish community. The entire country faces chaos, scarcity of resources, and political violence. Members of Ukraine’s Jewish community are especially vulnerable. Serious security threats—like the potential for looting or violence—now loom over Ukrainian Jewish institutions. Calgary Jewish Federation's partners from the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) and The American Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) are already on the ground doing critical work to assist those in need. Make your donation online now.
As part of Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion Month (JDAIM), Calgary Jewish Federation's Inclusion Manager Karina Szulc, participated in CIJA's 5th Annual Jewish Disability Advocacy Day on February 17.
