Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver

The high cost of living, and the dispersal of our Jewish community over a wide geographic area, continue to make it difficult for many families and individuals to participate fully in Jewish community life.

In response to the tragic shooting in Pittsburgh on October 27th, we have set up a fund to support the victims and their families. Funds raised will be combined with funds from other Canadian Jewish communities and distributed by our partner, Jewish Federations of Canada-UIA, through the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.

We were horrified to learn of the shooting at the Tree of Life Congregation synagogue in Pittsburgh.

This year we are introducing a new offer for donors who increase their gifts.

With the sky-high cost of living, it is not only the most vulnerable members of our community who have fewer resources available to participate Jewishly.

Our community is at a turning point. For many, the high cost of living is putting Jewish community life out of reach. And living far from the heart of our community makes it harder to stay connected. With your help, we can change that.

More and more community members are living in areas that have little to no Jewish infrastructure.

Just as Jewish Federation strategically invests in our local community in ways that pay dividends long into the future, we also work to invest in our partnership region in Israel—the Upper Galilee Panhandle (Etzbah HaGalil)—for the long term.

Consular services will be available on Tuesday, November 27th to Thursday, November 29th.
