Budding Philanthropists

The Combined Jewish Appeal (CJA) offers parents and children a unique opportunity to learn about philanthropy together. Becoming a Budding Philanthropist is easy! Each year, a child who donates to the Combined Jewish Appeal will be listed in our annual Honour Roll.

Shalom Baby

Do you know of any new babies in the Jewish community? We'd love to welcome them at the biannual Shalom Baby Shower in the fall and spring of each year. Meet other parents, receive your welcome baby basket, and find out about baby and child-friendly activities as well as programs in our community! 

PJ Library Parent Connector Initiative

Wonderful Winnipeg Connections

The PJ Parent Connector helps families of babies and preschool-age kids make connections, build friendships, and engage in Winnipeg’s Jewish life.

The connector helps arrange events, playdates, and meetups with other families who have preschool children to help you get connected with other parents and families!

Stay Active 

Babies need exercise and should be active during the day doing things like rolling, crawling and going outdoors. Staying active with your young children is beneficial to them, and to you. Learn about various programs and initiatives in the Jewish community that will keep you and your little ones moving.

Child Care

Throughout our community, child care providers offer a uniquely Jewish environment that instills social and cultural values, while providing a stimulating environment for young hearts and minds. Below you will find a list of daycares that will help your children to thrive. With daycare spaces in high demand, it is best to enroll your child (or anticipated child) as early as possible.

Jewish Education  

Our Jewish future begins with accessible and affordable Jewish education and engaged, passionate leaders. Throughout Winnipeg, many opportunities exist for young people to connect with their heritage and find meaning through diverse and enriching Jewish learning.
