We are living in an Olam Hafukh – an upside-down world. Many of the societal certainties we took for granted are collapsing, with very few constants remaining. Despite this, JF&CS remains steadfast in our belief in humanity and the fundamental Jewish value of Tikun Olum – repairing the world.
For over 155 years, JF&CS has been the safety net for our community, a place people can turn to when they are unable to make it on their own. We provide dignity to those who have endured unimaginable hardships, ensuring that everyone feels included and embraced by our community.
Now more than ever, as the Jewish community seeks safety and reassurance, JF&CS provides a welcoming and supportive space. Since October 7th, antisemitism has been on the rise and the mounting impacts of trauma have changed the way we, as Jews and as Canadians, live our lives.
Mental health struggles are increasing. More community members are unable to find affordable housing or put food on their table. We offer services that heal those who are suffering from physical and emotional pain, poverty and isolation — without judgment.
Together, through acts of Tikun Olam, we can right the Olam Hafukh. For every call we receive, we have an opportunity to improve the lives of individuals and families. We cannot do this alone and remain eternally grateful for a community that stands behind us and the incredibly important work we do. The client journeys you will read in this year’s Annual Campaign reflect our guiding value of Tikun Olam.
