The allocations were determined following a thoughtful and thorough process led by the Grants and Evaluations Committee and approved by the Federation Board of Directors.

Whether it’s through art and cultural programming, or by taking advantage of our flourishing Jewish community, Federation provides the means to ensure our next generation lives proud and full Jewish lives. From preschoolers celebrating Shabbat to university students advocating on behalf of Israel to our youth experiencing the joys of summer camp, Federation funds programs and initiatives that build community.

In a specific effort to engage young adults, the Federation in collaboration with forward-thinking donors offers a Micro-grant program. The program grants up to $2,000 to young adults who develop innovative, engaging programs that fulfil an unmet need within Ottawa’s Jewish community.

Ami and his wife Emma are working parents who live in the Glebe with their young daughters Miri (18 months) and Lola (3 ½). To accommodate their busy work schedules, they started a Shabbat Tot program geared to families with kids living in the downtown core who couldn’t readily access programs offered on the Jewish community campus.

They applied for a Micro-grant through the Jewish Federation of Ottawa and received $2,000. The 40-minute weekly program they developed with the grant provides parents from all levels of observance, and/or their caregivers, an opportunity to bring children age 2 to 4 years to Ami’s house every Friday at 9 a.m. to enjoy a Shabbat experience that includes stories, songs, grape juice, challah, and Shabbat blessings. The program is run by an experienced teacher.

“Receiving this Micro-grant gave us the opportunity to fill a need for parents with kids not in daycare, by providing a meaningful Jewish experience for our children that was close to home,” says Ami. “I consider it a great success.”

Federation cares for those in need by funding services that improve the health and well-being of the most vulnerable members of our community. Through a wide variety of programs such as the Tikvah Direct Assistance Program, enhanced nursing for seniors and Judaic outreach for our developmentally disabled, Federation donors continue to provide a safety net for our most vulnerable.

4 Federation allocated $729,830 to help the vulnerable in 2013. AELITA

Aelita’s relationship with Jewish Family Services (JFS) began in 2009 after she lost her job. With no family or support in Ottawa, she and her husband Eugene, together with their six-year-old son, turned to JFS seeking support. At the time, Aelita was thirty-one hours short of being eligible for Employment Assistance, so JFS employed her for the hours she needed to satisfy her requirements. At the same time, JFS supported the family’s immediate financial needs through the Tikvah Direct Assistance Program.

That same year, Eugene, Aelita’s husband, received his first diagnosis of renal cancer, so advanced that he was told to put his affairs in order and given under a year to live. Not long after this first diagnosis, they discovered his cancer had advanced to his lungs and brain. For now, Eugene is able to be home, and is on a palliative chemotherapy treatment, administered daily.

Aelita’s daily challenges are extremely difficult to manage. Often after working an eleven-hour shift, she comes home and attends to the needs of her son and the care of her ailing husband. She is physically drained and emotionally exhausted. She could not accomplish what she needs to do without the support of JFS.

The Tikvah Direct Assistance Program provides Aelita home support services twice a week, including assistance with meal preparation and house cleaning. She receives food vouchers and is able to get fresh fruits and vegetables through Miriam’s Well, a program available to low income Jewish individuals and families. In addition to financially supporting Aelita, JFS continues to provide Aelita with case management — offering her a place to come and share what she is going through.

“I don’t know what I would do without JFS”, says Aelita. “It’s not just about the money. It’s the emotional support I receive. Knowing I can come to see them any time really helps.”

JFS would like to increase the support Aelita receives. It’s through generous donations to the Annual Campaign that JFS can help Aelita and others in need.

Jewish Day Schools

The Jewish education our children receive today will ensure a thriving Jewish community for tomorrow. Ottawa is home to four distinct Jewish day schools, and the foundation of knowledge our students receive inspires them to embrace their responsibility to a Jewish future.

Ottawa Jewish Rambam Day School $30,750 Community School $554,526 From preschool through Grade 8, Rambam provides a All-day, trilingual elementary and high school that aims comprehensive, well-rounded Judaic and general to develop academic and personal excellence in its education designed to help each student actualize his students in an inclusive, caring and pluralistic or her individual potential and strive for excellence. environment that is based on Jewish religion, culture and values.

Jewish laws and traditions and are active members of the community.

6 Federation allocated $752,246 to educating Jewishly in 2013. ATARA There are many reasons to choose a Jewish education for your child. Some families like the idea of small class sizes, nurturing environments and positive peer groups, others want their children to learn Hebrew and to have an academic experience steeped in critical thinking and ethical behavior, while all families are focused on their children’s future.

What sets a Jewish education apart from other forms of education are the role models – teachers and students who demonstrate how to be good people, able leaders, ambitious learners and strongly identify as Jews. A Jewish education is known to provide a strong foundation, to give life-long tools to students to engage in the broader world with the confidence of knowing who they are and where they came from. Whether a child is on subsidy, comes from a troubled home, is a newcomer to Ottawa or third generation, the Ottawa Jewish Community School (OJCS) focuses on their needs as a student, a person and a Jew.

When Atara started Grade 4 at OJCS, she arrived in the middle of a harsh Ottawa winter having just moved from Israel. It was a big adjustment, getting used to a new culture, new country and trying to integrate mid-year into school. At OJCS, Atara found friends and began a journey of self-discovery out of which grew a love of the liberal arts, science and Judaism. She credits her teachers with helping to shape who she is as a person and as a Jew today. OJCS took a child who was a proud Israeli, but was uncertain about her Jewish identity; a child who needed assistance integrating on many levels and gave her life new meaning and direction. Atara’s experience at OJCS nurtured and fostered her Jewish pride and her strong desire to succeed academically.

“My teachers took an interest in me as a person and that made all the difference. Learning about the Holocaust, medical ethics, Jewish holidays, and Torah, along with all of my other subjects, gave me a well-rounded education that has served me very well,” says Atara. “But perhaps most importantly, the school also gave me a deep awareness and appreciation of my Jewishness.”

Atara is an OJCS success story. She is proud of her Jewish identity and has just completed her first year of medical school.

“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.”

~Golda Meir

7 Federation is… Educating Jewishly Our community’s Jewish after school and Sunday school programs are nurturing places that promote a strong sense of community and Jewish identity while providing educational connections to and Hebrew language for over 300 students. Students learn about Jewish holidays, Jewish culture and traditions, and embrace Jewish life and learning.

In an effort to increase supplemental school enrolment, Federation developed a $6,000 revitalization program that includes joint marketing targeted to young families with children, as well as professional development. Funding for supplemental schools is based on a formula (enrolment plus learning hours).

8 Elana “Throughout high school I struggled to accept the beliefs and practices of my parents because I didn’t think they made sense. After trying out different youth groups of different religious affiliation, I finally had this urge to go to Israel. I wanted to discover Judaism on my own and really find the truth in Torah. I went on NCSY’s leadership and Israel advocacy training program called ‘The Jerusalem Journey’ and it changed my life. From being a high school student living a secular life to beginning to learn and understand mitzvot, my entire perspective changed. Upon my return, I became involved in more NCSY programs, from Torah High, to Learn and Earn, to participate in NCSY regional shabbatons as well as North American programs. All these experiences brought Judaism into my life in different ways while introducing me to new people who I will forever keep in touch with.”

“My NCSY journey has helped me discover my spiritual side, my belief in Hashem and a love of Judaism. I owe my new perspective entirely to the advisors and the friends I made during my time in NCSY. My only regret was not allowing myself to be involved sooner.”

Elana was the 2014 recipient of the George Joseph Cooper Scholarship for leadership, academic excellence and involvement in the Jewish community, awarded by the Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation. The annual scholarship awards approximately $14,000 to someone between the ages of 18 and 30 and must be used for further education in artistic, literary or social sciences.

The Federation partners with international organizations including the Jewish Agency for Israel and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to support programs that strengthen the lives of Israelis by investing in vulnerable Israeli communities and providing rescue, relief and resettlement to Jews anywhere in the world. Through the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs and Jewish Federation of Canada-UIA, Federation provides for Jewish life in small communities nationally and works on strategic advocacy.

10 Federation allocated $752,500 to supporting Israel in 2013. Efrat Mevo’ot HaHermon, in the northern periphery of Israel, is home to the Shechafim School which works with special needs children living throughout the region. Nearby there is a community swimming pool and a wheelchair accessible hydrotherapy pool ideal for physiotherapy. On any given day, you can witness small miracles taking place as over 350 special needs children, youth, and adults from all over northern Israel, including those attending Shechafim, come to the pool for therapy.

Efrat is 20 years old. She began attending Shechafim at age six when she was diagnosed with a severe convulsive disorder. She cannot speak or walk and is completely dependent on her surroundings. With much anxiety, her mother enrolled her in Shechafim and each day that Efrat returned home without injury, her mother thought it was a miracle. After a long period of daily work by devoted caregivers and professionals, Efrat’s mother Yael saw a dramatic change in her daughter.

The pool is the only place where she has complete control of her body – Yael is delighted that her daughter has become a “water queen”.

“It’s important to stress that without the pool, Efrat would not have advanced and developed as she has,” says Yael. “The pool provides an experience of independence, self-control and direction to her life. Each day Efrat returns home full of joy. I can’t imagine a day when she doesn’t enter the pool.”

The Jewish Federation of Ottawa is a proud partner in funding the hydrotherapy pool.

Our Direct Connection to Israel Federation funds direct programs that engage our young adults through innovative trips to Israel to develop meaningful connections and deepen the bond between Israel, Israelis, Ottawa and Ottawa Jewry.

In 2013, Foundation allocated $1,125,477 to support Ottawa’s Jewish community and Israel. 12 Liat Liat’s experience as a B’nai Mitzvah Fund holder began in 2000, just shortly after her family moved to Ottawa from Israel and she celebrated becoming a bat mitzvah.

“I personally feel that having a fund ingrains the idea of giving back to the community that gave so much to my family,” says Liat. “It establishes giving as a habit that I believe you should have throughout your life. It builds on the Jewish concept of kol Yisrael arevim zeh la-zeh - every Jew being responsible for one another and the idea that it is important to help others. Today Liat is 26 years old. Every year since opening her fund, she has chosen to designate funds to Ottawa’s Jewish Food Bank.

“The idea that someone in our community has no food is very troubling to me,” says Liat. “I grew up in a home where having food on the table was never a problem. I think the Kosher Food Bank provides a very important service and I am happy to support it.”

Liat’s two siblings each have their own B’nai Mitzvah Fund, an initiative inspired by her father, to whom commitment and dedication to Jewish community and way of life is an ongoing and important tenet in his life.

“In fact, my father opened B’nai Mitzvah Funds for all of his great nieces and nephews.”
