Have you heard of Amy Albertson?!

Amy is an inspiring Jewish advocate and educator from California who is transforming the way young Jews connect with their identity. Amy uses online activism, public speaking, and engaging workshops to inspire young Jews to embrace their Judaism with pride and confidence. Her unique perspective is shaped by her experiences living in Israel and her journey as a Chinese-American Jewish woman.

We’re thrilled to announce that Amy will be joining us in Calgary for an exclusive event along with Debbie Lechtman and Matthew Nouriel!

Kick off UJA's 2024 Annual Campaign and celebrate the strength of our community. Join us for an unforgettable night on Sunday, September 8, where Amy will share her powerful insights and experiences. Register here to save your spot today!

JNF Canada was recently blindsided by the Canada Revenue Agency by having its charitable status revoked in a manner contrary to the CRA’s standard practice. Other Israel-focused charities have had their status revoked or are under threat of it. This should concern anyone who supports the State of Israel.

JNF Canada is asking everyone to help by calling on the Federal Minister of National Revenue and other Members of Parliament, from all parties, to intervene on behalf of JNF Canada. JNF is requesting the government withdraw its revocation and allow JNF to pursue their legal right to appeal in court. Send a message to Ottawa by clicking here. The Canadian Jewish Community deserves equal and fair treatment.

Israel won one gold, one bronze, and five silver medals at the 2024 Olympics. Despite facing calls for a boycott, death threats, intimidation, and other horrible examples of antisemitism, the results are incredible!

Our Israeli athletes demonstrated exceptional determination, strength, and Jewish pride. Kol Hakavod!

Building an inclusive community is our priority.
