Partnership At Work in Calgary

There was plenty of food and even more food for thought at the third annual Forum and Latke Ball in Calgary in November.  Jewish Family Service, together with Hillel and the Sheldon M. Chumir Foundation and an integration grant from JIAS brought together 70 young adults, about a third of them recent immigrants,  to explore "ethical issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict".

Anna Steinberg, JFS resettlement worker and JIAS service provider in Calgary welcomed the guests expressing her hope that this kind of programming will help to promote strong young leadership in the Calgary Jewish community. 

The photograph shows all the young adults who are in University and who have been part of the JIAS resettlement process in the last eight years.  Two of the group are JIAS Scholarship winners who are now involved on the Board of Hillel.  We are very proud of their accomplishments. 

JIAS integration grants help fund innovative programs across the country.
