About the Ezra Campaign

Since 1979 we have provided a safe home to Ottawa’s Jewish community.  And, as with any home, it needs resources and support to maintain it—making sure it remains a warm, welcoming place to land.  Over our 46 years we have grown to keep pace with your needs and will continue to be there for when you need us to. 

Ezra means “help”—and that’s exactly what your Ezra Fund donation provides. Confidential, respectful and compassionate support for our Jewish community.

Thanks to your help, we can continue to take care of our community. It’s the helping hand that’s ready when you need it most.

How does YOUR Jewish community benefits from YOUR donation? It:

  • Empowers young Jewish families facing financial challenges to stay afloat and take part fully in community life.
  • Connects Israeli newcomers with the support and community they need to feel at home in Ottawa.
  • Engages socially isolated community members with activities so they feel included in their Jewish family.
  • Helps Jewish seniors and their caregivers stay connected, independent, and respected throughout the aging journey.
