In Our Hands (B'Yadenu) is a program sponsored by Jewish Family Services of Ottawa to engage the Jewish community in Jewish and city-wide initiatives that reflect our commitment to affordable housing, education, the environment, poverty reduction and hunger relief. Through partnerships with local organizations, we hope to make a difference in our community and in our world. We believe collaboration with local non-profit organizations is key to addressing and resolving social justice issues.

As well as offering a broad range of volunteer opportunities, B'Yadenu is excited to offer social networking events for young professionals.

Activities include workshops for individuals in their 20's and 30's and Shabbat potluck dinners.

We want to hear from you. Let us know what matters most to you in your Jewish community.




B'Yadenu has been busy!

We have participated in a Habitat for Humanity build, picked apples, and helped clean up the Ottawa shoreline. More about our past programs
