Jewish Federation is committed to building vibrant Jewish communities in all regions of British Columbia. We work collaboratively with various Jewish organizations to create innovative programs that make Jewish life accessible and welcoming to everyone.  

 

Our programs include Shabbat potluck dinners, cultural events, holiday celebrations, challah bakes, programs for children and teens and educational workshops for all ages. Through our community engagement department, we are supporting Jews living in regional communities through partnerships with local organizations to strengthen meaningful Jewish connections and support grassroots initiatives.

2026 Community Engagement Summit 

 

The Community Engagement Summit is a province-wide gathering bringing together Jews of all ages and walks of life from across British Columbia for a shared weekend of connection, learning, and community. The weekend is designed as an immersive experience that balances thoughtful programming, meaningful conversation, time in nature, and opportunities to connect with one another at a comfortable, intentional pace. 

 

Registration is now open and includes accommodation and all kosher meals for the full weekend, allowing participants to be present throughout the experience. We invite community members from across BC to join us in Whistler for this shared provincial moment and to experience the strength of a connected Jewish community.
