WE BUILD JEWISH EDUCATION

 

In an environment where being Jewish is a choice, inspiring young generations to embrace Jewish life is one of UJA’s priorities. That is why UJA Federation places a strong emphasis on investing in Jewish education and a vast array of identity programs.

Toronto is home to one of the world’s strongest and most diverse Jewish day school systems. These schools and their graduates have strengthened every facet of our community from Hillel on campus to synagogues to Federation and communal leadership. In the past 50 years, the Toronto Jewish community has witnessed dynamic growth and transformation—with many schools dedicated to providing children of all religious affiliations and backgrounds a vibrant Jewish learning experience.

Julia and Henry Koschitzky Centre for Jewish Education

 

UJA Federation's educational pillar, The Julia and Hnery Koschiztky Centre for Jewish Education is dedicated to strengthening, enriching, and promoting the quality of Jewish education in our schools. The Koschitzky Centre serves 14 day schools, more than 30 after school educational programs, 1,500 educators, and 16,000 students across the GTA. Together we strengthen the Jewish community and ensure its continuity by providing leadership and supporting a sustainable system of quality Jewish programs.

 

PJ Library

 

An award-winning, international initiative, PJ Library increases Jewish engagement in young families with children ages 6 months to 8 years. Each month families are mailed Jewish-themed children’s books, free of charge. PJ Library reaches close to 5,700 families in the GTA and has become a feeder into Jewish daycares, day schools and other educational and identity-building programs.

 

WOW!

 

The WOW! project is a community initiative to provide Jewish supplementary education to children who do not attend a Jewish day school. The project aims to increase participation by enhancing current after school activities as well as expanding the range of available program options.

 

The Sarah & Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre

 

Each year, the Sarah & Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre engages over 50,000 students, educators and community members from the GTA and surrounding areas through a vast array of dynamic professional programs, events and services, to foster an understanding of the Nazi aggression during the Second World War and its horrific consequences.

 

UJA on University Campuses

 

UJA Federation invests in Hillel Ontario, as well as Jewish student life on university campuses across Ontario. Hillel strives to inspire every Jewish student in Ontario to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel. Through promoting Jewish identity, cultivating student leadership and embracing religious and political diversity in an inclusive environment, Hillel Ontario enriches the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world. Hillel Ontario is now the largest regional Hillel system worldwide with staff at nine universities serving a combined Jewish student population of over 13,000.
