What We Do
At The Jewish Federation of Edmonton, our goal is to touch the lives of every member of our community and to connect them with each other, and with fellow Jews around the world. Every program we fund and every service we support works to achieve this.
Thanks to your generosity we are able to provide a safety net for our most vulnerable, and strengthen our community for now and for generations to come.
Who We Are
The Jewish Federation of Edmonton was established as the central community organization in order to bring community interests together. Federation aims to provide the Jewish community with educational and arts and cultural programs along with support for local agencies, for Israel and Klal Israel.
The ideals that motivate Federations are the precious heritage of our Jewish people. Our parents and grandparents brought these ideals to this country and we are charged with keeping them alive to hand on to our children and grandchildren. United and diverse, traditional and innovative, giving and accepting, the Jewish Federation of Edmonton celebrates the uniqueness of its members and, like a family, care for their own.
Our Values
The Jewish Federation of Edmonton is committed to the principles of Klal Israel (the collective unity of the Jewish people), tzedakah (the obligation to care for one another) and tikkun olam (repair of the world).
Our Mission
The Jewish Federation of Edmonton is committed to building a strong, vibrant and enduring Jewish community in Edmonton, across Alberta, in Israel and throughout the world by fostering the values, practices and traditions that sustain and enrich Judaism and the Jewish people.
