Jewish Heritage Month
Celebrating Jewish Heritage Month
May is Jewish Heritage Month in Canada, a time to celebrate the inspirational role that Jewish Canadians have played and continue to play in communities across the country. From law, to politics, to culture, to sports, this important initiative celebrates the contributions Jewish Canadians have been making to this country for 250 years.
Explore the resources on this page to learn more about Jewish culture and history. Educating ourselves on the historical and present issues facing Jewish Canadians will help us better understand how we can create and sustain an inclusive culture on our own campus.
