Highlights of 50 Years Community Service
Abstract
The Federation of Jewish Philanthropies is the original name for what is today called the Federation CJA. The Federation of Jewish Philanthropies was founded on January 1, 1917 and was Canada’s first Jewish federation. Since that time, the organization has changed its name three times: Federation of Jewish Community Services in 1951, Allied Jewish Community Services in 1965 and the Federation CJA in 1997. The original Federation was founded to be a single voice for the social agencies and organizations in Jewish Montreal. The original 12 founding agencies were: Baron de Hirsch Institute; Mount Sinai Sanitorium; Ladies Hebrew Benevolent Society; Herzl Dispensary and Hospital; Montreal Orphans’ Home; Montreal Hebrew Sheltering Home; Ladies Jewish Endeavour Sewing Society; Young Women’s Hebrew Association; Beth Israel Day Nursery and Infants’ Home; Hebrew Ladies Aid Society; and the Friendly League of Jewish Women.
