JEWISH FEDERATIONS OF CANADA UNITED ISRAEL APPEAL (JFC—UIA) BY NIKKI HOLLAND, PRESIDENT AND CEO The COVID-19 pandemic turned the world sideways and it took some time for us to find a balance as we all adjusted to this new temporary reality. But thanks to the strength and commitment of Canadian Jewish Federations and the resilience of the Canadian Jewish community, we are working locally and nationally to help our communities and will come out of this stronger and healthier. Throughout the crisis, JFC-UIA has been working with leadership at Canadian Jewish Federations to make sure that they have what they need to serve their communities. The response of the federations to urgent COVID-19 related needs within their local communities was outstanding as they acted immediately to ensure the health and safety of their constituents. We are so proud of the work done by our partners across Canada. We are stronger
together! Whether it be by sharing ideas, pooling dollars together, collective thinking and planning, the ability to work together helped each of us individually in many ways. That’s why this year, for the very first time, the Jewish Federations of Canada are coming together online as a national community of almost 400,000 to ring in the Jewish new year! And we want you to be a part of it!
CELEBRATION OF FEDERATION A Canadian Rosh Hashanah has an exciting lineup of both Canadians and Israelis with something for everyone. Be sure to mark your calendars and join us on Sunday, September 13, 2020 at 7:30 PM EDT. Stay tuned for more details, we will share them soon! We wish you a sweet and happy 5781 with health, happiness and peace. S
