Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver

Jewish Federation, in collaboration with the Consulate General of Israel in Toronto, is pleased to announce the visit of a consular representative to Vancouver on May 13th and 14th.

Have Jewish kids who go to public school? Please take this quick 5-question survey about part-time Jewish education.

More than 100 children and their families will benefit from the five Inspiring Inclusion Grants recently awarded by Jewish Federation and funded by the Federation Annual Campaign.

If you were unable to attend the Open House hosted by the Jewish Community Centre in February, you still have an opportunity to voice your opinion about their proposed redevelopment.

One way the Federation Annual Campaign helps to support supplementary, or part-time, education programs is by providing training to the teenagers who work as classroom aides in the various Jewish education programs that we fund throughout the Lower Mainland.

Moving to a new country involves a lot of adjustment, and Jewish Federation’s Gesher Welcoming Services program helps Israelis settle into life in Metro Vancouver.

In October our community lost one of its most devoted supporters, Leon Glassman z”l. Leon will be remembered for generations to come for his commitment to Jewish education and its central role in Jewish identity and continuity.

We want to share with you the strategic priorities that will guide the work of our Jewish Federation through the year 2020 and beyond.

Sent every Friday. With his warm, personal tone, our CEO, Ezra S. Shanken, makes it easy to keep up with the most important issues and events in our community.
