This year's UJA Campaign is all about working together, and Jewish Calgary has proven once again that through good times and not such good times, important programs and services that keep our Jewish community thriving are supported.

On Monday, October 18, Calgarians will be voting for our next group of municipal leaders. In an effort to help our top mayoral candidates better understand the unique needs of our community, Calgary Jewish Federation and the Community Relations Committee have created an opportunity to address concerns specific to the Jewish population.

Join us for an afternoon of fun, wellness, and health with Lora Pesant. Laughter Yoga (or Laughter Wellness) is a simple yet powerful form of exercise combining yoga-based deep breathing and gentle stretching to stimulate laughter and cultivate an inner spirit of joy. This program is accessible to all!

No matter what type of animal lover you are, be sure to get your hands on JAC's pawsitively adorable pets calendar! Admire the good girls and boys of Calgary's Jewish community while supporting Jewish infrastructure and programming. Don't miss out on the ulti-mutt Jewish calendar, order yours right meow!

It is thanks to each one of our agencies, institutions, and members that we are able to work together to create a vibrant, caring, welcoming, and inclusive Jewish community locally, in Israel, and around the world.

Our strength as a community comes from supporting each other and from acting collectively. We all feel as though we can, and should do more. Here are some actions we can take to address some of the safety and advocacy concerns we are experiencing.
