Our Mission

The Canadian Friends of the World Union for Progressive Judaism is the fundraising arm of the World Union for Progressive Judaism in Canada. Its mandate is to raise funds in support of the programs and institutions of the World Union and to transfer these funds to the World Union in Israel or New York where they will be disbursed according to our instruction, by WUPJ staff acting as our agents. The Canadian Friends of the WUPJ is a registered charity in Canada.

The Canadian Friends of the WUPJ raises funds for educational, religious and study programs in Israel, and around the world wherever there are Progressive Jewish communities. We fund  synagogues, Jewish communites, nursery elementary and high schools, adult education programs, programs for new immigrants, social action programs and other programs that contribute to the growth of Reform Judaism in Israel, and around the world
