Community Planning

Community Planning assesses long-term Jewish community needs, identifies priorities and develops action plans. The Jewish Federation of Winnipeg is committed to planning a vibrant future for a flourishing Jewish community with all possible partners, listening to and engaging with the full diversity of individuals and Jewish organizations.

Community Forward is the community wide planning process.

Vibrant Jewish Life

Enhance engagement in and access to the full diversity of Jewish life and Jewish education that strengthens Jewish identity. Strive to reflect the diversity of the community and empower Jews to create satisfying Jewish life for themselves and others.

Inclusive, Caring Community

Connect and support each individual who faces challenges in life so they can fully engage in Jewish life in the most inclusive manner possible. 

 

- Someone who is vulnerable is either vulnerable because they are not safe or feels vulnerable because they don’t feel welcome. The original statement was to “connect each of the most vulnerable in our community to Jewish life in the most inclusive manner possible”. This overall goal has been restated in more positive, inclusive language.

Connect and support each individual who faces challenges in life so they can fully engage in Jewish life in the most inclusive manner possible.
