Our young adults see their Jewish collective responsibility as a call to action; to understand global Jewish peoplehood as something to take responsibility for and not just to participate in. Federation CJA is listening to the voices of our young people who wish to be involved in tikun olam, who wish to help those who are in need as it relates to practical methods, no matter in what capacity. Partnering with the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), Federation CJA is fulfilling the aspirations of our young people by offering an Ethiopian Short-term Service Program taking place over the holiday period involving 20 participants from the Montreal Jewish community and our Beer Sheva/Bnei Shimon partnership communities who are between the ages of 18 and 25.
