In 2005, my husband and I decided to leave France temporarily for professional reasons: I wanted some international experience to go along with my degree. With our first child in tow, we embarked on a totally new adventure…
“This was an opportunity for me to give back to my new community and meet new people, practice my French and English and gain valuable Canadian experience.”
“We turned to Ometz for support. Our integration worker’s professionalism, warmth and compassion helped us survive and eased our integration into the community.”
Jewish life throughout Canada is an integral part of Jewish life in Montreal , and vice versa because the Jewish world is inter-connected and because our responsibility “for one another” doesn’t end at the city limits.
Today, we help resettle Jews, whether from North Africa, Latin America, Ethiopia, or the former East Bloc, who have been persecuted or displaced by wars, terror, or natural disasters.
