At JFS Edmonton, we provide Counselling, Home Support Services, and Newcomers to Canada Support to the local community. While we do have a few programs that cater directly to the local Jewish population, we welcome everyone, regardless of race or creed. We are LGBTQ+ friendly; not only are our services diverse, but our clientele and employees are too.

Holding space for all those affected by the tragic events at CFB Wainwright.

Our hearts go out to all those affected — the families, the first responders, and communities now navigating unimaginable hardship.

As we come together as a community and as a country, we want you to know that JFSE and the Edmonton Healing Centre are here. We stand together in grief and in support of one another.

Every Friday at sundown, we welcome Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest. It's a time to slow down, light candles, share a meal, say blessings, and simply be present with the people we love.

We want to hear from you!

🕯️ If you celebrate Shabbat: What's your favourite part? What makes it meaningful to you?
🕯️ If you've never experienced Shabbat: What would you want to know? We'd love to share!
🕯️ How would you describe Shabbat to someone who's never heard of it?

Drop your thoughts in the comments! Let's learn from eachother.

Our community is deeply connected—we feel one another’s challenges and celebrate one another’s resilience. With that closeness comes a responsibility: to ensure no one is left behind, and that those who need support can access it with dignity.

Together, through our 54 the Future initiative, we can answer that call. A pledge of $54—or whatever amount you can give—can preserve dignity, offer hope, and ensure that support is always available to those who need it.

Visit jfse.org/donate to make your monthly gift and help us create a future where care is extended to all.

Together, we can hold the line, build compassion, and continue to make a difference.

October is Bullying Prevention Month.

Bullying doesn't just leave visible scars. It can impacts mental health in ways that can last a lifetime—anxiety, depression, isolation, self-doubt.

This month, let's focus on what we CAN do:

💜 Check in on someone who seems withdrawn.
💜 Listen without judgment.
💜Be the person who makes someone feel less alone.

Sometimes the smallest act of kindness is the lifeline someone needs.

This month, and every month, Edmonton Healing Centre wants you to know: we're here for you. Whether you need someone to talk to, support through trauma, or a safe space to process, we've got you.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Jewish Family Services Edmonton pauses to reflect on the painful legacy of residential schools and honour the enduring resilience of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.We humbly acknowledge that we live and work on Treaty 6 territory, traditional land once known as the Beaver Hills. For generations, this area has served as a vital meeting ground for the Nehiyaw (Cree), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, Denesuliné (Dene), and Nakota Sioux (Stoney).

As we confront the history of violence, displacement, and settlement that has deeply impacted these communities, we know that words are only a first step.

We are grateful for the teachings of the First Peoples of this land, and we reaffirm our commitment to active reconciliation, listening, and moving forward together in meaningful solidarity.
