Community Engagement

Making Connections

Find your niche in the Jewish community. Make connections with like-minded people. Contribute to making our community a more welcoming place.

The Making Connections initiative uses a variety of approaches including public space events and home hosted gatherings to meet people where they are and help them find a path into community life. We are committed to helping every Jew in Winnipeg find that part of Judaism and Jewish community that strengthens them. We are part of a network that includes our local synagogues and Jewish organizations and are connected to national networks.

Sign up to host a Shabbat for friends in your home and receive a “Shabbat in a box” kit

The Making Connections initiative promotes home hosted Shabbat dinners where people can invite families and individuals and engage them in a casual home setting. Hosts receive a “Shabbat in a Box” resource kit to enable them to host Friday night dinners for small groups including candles, menu and recipe ideas, fresh baked challah and Shabbat booklets. Plan one now!

Contribute your ideas, time and expertise to making our community a more welcoming place
