Shabbat Shalom, Jewish Ottawa 💙

In his Shabbat message, Jewish Federation President and CEO Adam Silver reflects on a powerful message from Parshat Bamidbar: to be counted is to matter.

In a time of change and uncertainty, building strong Jewish community begins by ensuring every person feels seen, valued, and connected. From supporting vulnerable community members to strengthening Jewish life in Ottawa, every act of participation helps shape our collective future.

Shabbat Shalom, Jewish Ottawa 🌷

In this week's Shabbat message, Jewish Federation of Ottawa Board Chair Danya Vered writes about Canadian Jewish Heritage Month, and how we are celebrating the rich history, diversity, and contributions of Jewish life in Ottawa and across Canada.

Jewish heritage is something our community lives every day — through culture, tradition, values, and connection. This month offers an opportunity not only to reflect on that legacy, but to proudly share it with the broader community, helping build understanding, allyship, and belonging.

Shabbat Shalom ✨

In this week's Shabbat message, Federation President and CEO Adam Silver reflects on this week’s parashah, Emor, and that we’re reminded that holiness isn’t just personal, it’s something we build together. Through shared responsibility, care, and intention, we create a community that is strong, connected, and meaningful.

From supporting those in need to strengthening Jewish identity and advocating for our community — including last week’s passage of the Vulnerable Social Infrastructure Bylaw — we continue to build with purpose, integrity, and care.
