JNF Calgary

NOT FAIR! Tantrums and toddler diplomacy have always been the go-to for Palestinians and their overseas advocates.

Thank you to all the donors and attendees at JNF Calgary’s 2023 Negev Gala! Your support of the Or Yehuda Family Care Center is another meaningful way that you help us build the foundations of Israel’s future.

A special thanks to Gold Sponsor Jenny Belzberg and Bronze Sponsor Alvin and Mona Libin Foundation for your generous support.

Join us at this year's Negev to support this amazing project in Israel!

This year's JNF Calgary Negev is raising funds for the Or Yehuda Family Care Centre. Or Yehuda, like many small cities in Israel, has a large population of immigrants who face the difficult task of starting a new life, learning a new language & customs, finding good work, and settling their children. A large group of volunteers runs two types of community programs:

1. A club for at-risk youth who are referred by municipal welfare to get after-school support.
2. The ‘Chesed Yavneh’ project, which provides professional assistance for families who need emotional support, financial management, education, and training.

All of these services are provided in a spacious building donated by the municipality that needs full renovation to make it not only suitable but comfortable, dignified, and inspiring for the families who come through its doors seeking support.

Over the next few weeks, we will be spotlighting each one of our Executive Directors from across the country, starting with our amazing Executive Director of JNF Calgary, Elliott Steinberg! One of Elliott’s favourite JNF projects is Kav Lachayim’s new housing complex for adults with disabilities.

If he had to choose one food to eat for the rest of his life, Elliott would eat rice pudding! But that's not the only interesting thing about him... He's also a certified cross-country ski instructor and race official. In fact, he will be the Chief of Course for a World Cup race in 2024! We are lucky to have Elliott as a member of our team and we can't wait to see what he accomplishes next.
