Live Generously - It Does a World of Good

The UJA Annual Campaign allows each of us to have an impact on others, on the future, and on ourselves, while making a proud statement of personal responsibility to our community and to every individual Jew. By supporting the UJA Annual Campaign, you:

Encourage Jewish Continutiy in Atlantic Canada, by providing Holocaust education and a chaplaincy program. The AJC strives to connect our young leaders and youth on campus with our traditions and values.

Stand with the People of Israel, assisting men, women, and children who often find themselves in need of social and educational services. By strengthening and improving their quality of life, we are solidifying the very future of Jewish life around the world.

Provide Relief by helping vulnerable Jews in the Former Soviet Union to live more self-sufficient lives, providing them with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Support Social Action which helps to improve the quality of Jewish Life in Canada and abroad.

We must respond to the unique challenges that we continue to face in Israel, in Canada, and around the Jewish world.

Please join us in living generously.

Partnership 2000 Atlantic Canada

Building a Stronger Israel
Over the last 10 years, through our involvement in Partnership 2000 (P2K) as a partner in the Coast to Coast Communities, Atlantic Canada has given much to the Galilee panhandle. Total gifts exceed $250,000. Atlantic Canadian P2K projects range from building bomb shelters to financing English learning centres and other elementary school programs, to supporting the Schafim School for Children with Special Needs. Funds from Atlantic Canada have also been used to upgrade the hydrotherapy pool at Mevoot HaHermon. In addition, Alei-Givaa School gift card sales have enabled that elementary school to upgrade its facilities (computer lab and peace Sukkah) and generally provide a better education for its students.

Your gift to the UJA Campaign helps preserve and build stronger communities throughout Israel.

Jewish Continuity

Today's Jewish youth are tomorrow's Jewish leaders. UJA is strengthening Jewish identity by helping them connect to our community in ways that are meaningful to them. We are committed to securing the future of our Jewish community by encouraging our youth to celebrate and engage in Jewish life and Jewish experiences through a love of Israel, education, and social action.

UJA helps to send our young Jewish adults to Israel on Birthright Israel, March of the Living, and various Canada-Israel experiences. In Atlantic Canada, the AJC provides Holocaust Education and our chaplaincy program among our many activities. The AJC strives to connect our youth and future leaders with Jewish traditions and values.

Your gift to the UJA Campaign creates significantly positive experiences for Jewish youth and helps to provide essential tools to strengthen and preserve Judaism for the next generations.

Israel and International Jewry

Give Hope
The United Jewish Appeal of Atlantic Canada, through the AJC, is supported by your gift to the Annual Campaign. It provides resources to help meet immediate needs and future planning of our local and global Jewish community. Your gift ensures that AJC activities and initiatives continue to provide vital services and programs. When your volunteer UJA canvasser calls, please support our many activities - for ourselves, for Israel, and forever.

As rockets continue to fall on the strategic and vulnerable city of Sderot, we are continuing to provide emergency assistance. Last year, your donation to UJA Campaign contributed to upgrading and repairing bomb shelters, providing emergency assistance to the elderly and infirm, moving more than 70,000 children out of harm's way and providing trauma and grief counselling to those in need. In addition, for the second straight year, Camp Kadimah brought two teenagers from the Sderot area to enjoy a wonderful summer in Nova Scotia.

Throughout the world, Jews and Jewish communities are faced with problems that make them particularly vulnerable. Through our network of registered partners, UJA is able to provide important and often urgent services to vulnerable communities worldwide. Together, we provide a lifeline to almost 300,000 impoverished Jewish seniors in the former Soviet Union. In Israel, we support educational and vocational programs for vulnerable communities and provide over 1,000 youth-at-risk with housing and counseling opportunities.

Your gift to the UJA Campaign protects children in Israel's periphery communities and promises a better future for the most vulnerable members of our Israeli family.

Social Action

Advocacy
United Jewish Appeal of Atlantic Canada supports the Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy (CIJA), our national advocacy arm, which oversees the strategic alignment of our family of agencies including Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC), Canada-Israel Committee (CIC), and National Jewish Campus Life (NJCL).

As the advocacy arm of the Canadian Federations, CIJA works with communities to improve the quality of Jewish life here at home and abroad, while strengthening the Canada-Israel relationship. NJCL supports and encourages Canadian students to advocate on behalf of human rights.

The AJC Community Relations Committee monitors anti-Semitic and anti-Israel activities throughout the region. We also represent the community in a number of interfaith and human rights programs within Atlantic Canada.

Your gift to the UJA Campaign helps agencies to build understanding and co-operation between religious, racial, and ethnic groups through education, community collaboration, and advocacy.


Israel at 60

Israel @ 60

An Historic Venture in Jewish History
Looking back with pride over the dramatic accomplishments we have made in our 3,000-year history, the establishment of the State of Israel just 60 years ago is by far one of our greatest accomplishments.

You are part of the UJA global family that has played an instrumental role in the creation of a Jewish State. From the first dramatic appeal in 1948, urging Jews to assist in the building of a Jewish Homeland, UJA has been at the forefront of Israel's growth and progress.

Your gift to the UJA Campaign has helped to build a Jewish Nation we can all be proud of.
