My mind is still in Ethiopia
Although I am physically home, my mind is still in Ethiopia. What an unbelievable trip it was. It is up to us to follow up our experience with significant efforts.
Taking responsibility in Ethiopia
“This once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to Ethiopia will expose me to a new culture and way of life. Learning about Ethiopian Jewish traditions and struggles will enrich my understanding of the diversity of the Jewish people and the richness of our heritage.”
This is the Mile End Chavurah for you
“There was clearly a deep hunger for a progressive and open space for Jewish exploration in this part of the city. It started with a group of friends and friends of friends gathering for Shabbat dinners at each other’s Mile End and Plateau apartments. It’s now a registered not-for-profit organization with an elected Board and a diverse membership.”
West Island families embrace Jewish life
“We are bringing people together with other families just like them. Relationships and friendships are being built, between the parents and between the children.”
Fostering Jewish Identity for a Bright Tomorrow
“If we don’t foster Jewish identity, if we don’t teach our children about Jewish values, if we don’t excite and engage our young adults in the value of community today, what kind of future can we expect for our community for tomorrow?”
Fostering Jewish identity through overnight camping
“Spending my summers in an environment where I could be proud to be Jewish had a tremendous impact on my life choices.”

The Future is Bright for Canada’s Jewish Past
“Share the wonderful rich history of Jews in Canada… These stories are now open to be explored by Jews and non-Jews alike.”
Carrying the Yiddish Torch
“Montreal, of all places, has become an important torchbearer for Yiddish.”
Connecting People-to-People
“I was learning about Montreal before coming here, but nothing could have prepared me for how the Jewish community in Montreal takes care of the people who need the help.”
Back to the Mountain
“It was truly a wonderful and inspiring sight to see the thousands of Montrealers proudly taking to the streets and dancing in the rain at the Masada checkpoint back at Mount-Royal.”
