A group of former Canadian Jewish Congress senior leaders from coast to coast, as well as some new young leadership, have come together to establish the Canadian Jewish Community Forum
The new group is a federally incorporated all-volunteer organization.
The group s founders say the new organization will provide a forum to educate, discuss and debate issues of interest and concern, both regional and national, that impact Canada, the Canadian Jewish community and the welfare of the people of Israel.
The process to launch the group began in January, with virtual meetings.

A speech without insults
Watching President Joe Biden’s speech to Congress last night was like feeling a breath of fresh air. How wonderful to have a person in the White House who has actual plans for the future and a 100-day track record of making some progress on these plans. When the right criticizes him for being too “socialistic” and the left for “not going far enough,” you can be sure he’s on the right track.
