Over 450 staff and more than 600 volunteers are available to provide care in your home.

Building Bridges
Misunderstanding and prejudice between Jews and Christians remain today, in large part, due to a lack of communication between the two groups. This is particularly true in Jewish relations with Evangelicals. Issues inevitably arise that create tension and ill will between the communities. In addition, many opportunities for inter-religious cooperation through joint programs on behalf of shared concerns are lost due to this lack of communication. It is against such a 2,000 year backdrop of fear, ignorance and mistrust that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews of Canada carries out its bridge-building work.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews of Canada was founded by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein to promote greater understanding between Jews and Christians and to build Christian support for Israel and other shared concerns. Like its sister organization in the U.S., the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews of Canada operates under the leadership of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, and is governed by an independent Board of Directors representing both faiths who share our strong belief in building bridges between the Christian and Jewish communities.

UJA CAMPAIGN
Thanks to outstanding volunteer leadership, unparalleled vision and the incredible generosity and compassion of our donors, UJAFederation continues to re-energize Jewish life today and for generations to come, making Toronto a leader within world Jewry. But with tremendous growth comes great responsibility.
The 2009 Campaign for Our Jewish Future remains committed to innovation and creativity. It supports big ideas, aimed at ensuring a strong and vibrant Jewish future by:
Transforming Lives
New initiatives are underway to help our community’s most vulnerable live more self-sufficient lives, providing them with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Inspiring Jewish Identity among our Next Generation
Programs have been designed to engage and excite our young people, many of whom will be counted on to lead our community in the decades to come.
Engaging a Growing and Dynamic Community
Outreach programs are in development for newcomers to Toronto, particularly Israeli- Canadians and Canadian Jews from the former Soviet Union. There is strength in numbers and we must fortify our own community.
Standing With the People of Israel
Through UIA Federations Canada, UJA is assisting Israelis who find themselves in need of unique social and educational services within the vulnerable communities in which they live. By strengthening and improving their quality of life, we are solidifying the very future of Jewish life across the street and across the globe.
