The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs Information

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) is the advocacy agent of the Jewish Federations of Canada. Our mission is to preserve and protect the quality of Jewish life in Canada through advocacy. We connect the power of a strong, national network to regional efforts in every Canadian province and, as the Canadian affiliate of the World Jewish Congress, to international efforts worldwide. We build relationships with leaders in government, media, academia, civil society and other faith and ethnic communities to ensure greater understanding of the issues that impact the Jewish community. We combat antisemitism and discrimination in all its forms and advocate for fundamental rights and freedoms, social justice, and support for the people of Israel.
