Join us as we kick off the 2025 UJA Campaign with Walk With Israel!

This important event is a show of solidarity and support for Israel, co-hosted by the Paperny Family JCC, JNF Canada, and CJSU.

We’ll begin at 11:00 AM on the field at the JCC with welcome remarks, followed by a 4 km community walk. After the walk, stay for a fun celebration featuring live entertainment, games, food and local organization info booths, as we launch the 2025 UJA Campaign!

This year, we are honoured to welcome Jacqui Vital, mother of the late Adi Vital Kaploun z"l, who will help lead the walk. Her presence adds meaning to our shared commitment to stand with Israel and remember those we have lost.

Adi was a 33-year-old Canadian-Israeli who was tragically murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, during the brutal attacks on Kibbutz Holit. A devoted mother, gifted chemical engineer, and vibrant soul, Adi gave her life protecting her children—her bravery saved her two young sons. Her story has moved hearts around the world, and her legacy continues to inspire courage, love, and resilience.

We are looking for volunteers to support this event. If you are interested in helping, please complete the volunteer form.

Thank you to our title sponsor, the Balaban Family.

Invite your friends. Bring your allies. Let’s walk united—in strength, in hope, and in solidarity. Am Yisrael Chai!
