Today is Holocaust Survivors Day, a time to honour the incredible resilience of Holocaust survivors and recognize the extraordinary contributions they’ve made to society.

At JFSE, we are dedicated to continually supporting Holocaust survivors. Thanks to the generous funding of the Claims Conference and the Azrieli Foundation, we provide essential services such as housekeeping, personal care, and more to Jewish victims who endured N**i persecution.

For more information, please contact Tatiana Kastner at 780-454-1194. She will respond promptly and is pleased to assist in Russian.

Together, we honour their resilience and ensure dignity and care for those who survived unimaginable hardship.

Visit the link in our bio to learn more about these vital services.

(Services are supported by a grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.)

Shavuot, marks the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and celebrates the early summer grain harvest in ancient Israel.

It is a time of learning, reflection, and gratitude, often observed with Torah study and enjoying cheesecake.

Chag Shavuot Sameach!
