Together, these efforts care for those in need, strengthen Jewish life, and build a vibrant, connected community.
Additional Ways to Make an Impact
Our community is strongest when we come together to respond to meaningful moments, urgent needs, and opportunities to shape our shared Jewish future.

These opportunities reflect current priorities and may evolve over time, offering meaningful ways to align your giving with the work you care about most, right now.
Combatting Antisemitism
Antisemitism is rising, and our community is responding with resolve, leadership, and action. Jewish Federation supports educational events, public awareness campaigns, and community‑wide initiatives across British Columbia that address antisemitism in proactive, collaborative, and meaningful ways.
This work is strengthened through grants to partner agencies, unaffiliated organizations, and grassroots groups, supporting projects that confront antisemitism while also fostering Jewish identity, pride, and resilience.
Rebuilding the North Together
Communities in northern Israel have endured profound disruption, displacement, and loss. Restoring the North focuses on rebuilding the Galilee Panhandle, directing funds toward programs and initiatives that support children, youth, families, and seniors; providing essential care for residents today while helping strengthen and rebuild the region for a more resilient future.
This work is guided by trusted partners on the ground and a deep commitment to Israel’s future and security.
PJ Library
PJ Library fosters early Jewish identity by providing free Jewish books to families with young children and hosting engaging community events. Through storytelling and shared experiences, PJ Library creates moments of connection that inspire lifelong engagement with Jewish life.
A gift to PJ Library expands access for families across British Columbia and strengthens joyful, accessible Jewish learning from a young age.
Yom Ha’atzmaut: A Signature Community Celebration
Yom Ha’atzmaut is one of Jewish Federation’s signature events, bringing our community together to celebrate Israel’s independence, resilience, and enduring spirit. Across our region, these gatherings foster pride, connection, and shared identity through meaningful celebration and learning.
