The CJN is seeking personal stories about modern life in Canadian places without an active Jewish community

The quintessential Jewish experience is an urban one, but lots of Jews—by choice or by circumstance—live outside of Canada’s cities. We are putting together a magazine feature highlighting these stories, and we are looking for participants.

Are you (or do you know) a Canadian with a story to tell about being Jewish in a relatively isolated place? We’re looking for recent experiences of living in parts of Canada where other community members aren’t easy to find. No need to write in detail; just tell us a little about yourself and where you are and we’ll follow up with some questions and take it from there.

Write us at [email protected]. Please spread the word to any friends or relatives who might be interested in contributing to this project, too.

Support Our Mission: Make a Difference!

The Canadian Jewish News is now a Registered Journalism Organization (RJO) as defined by the Canada Revenue Agency. To help support the valuable work we’re doing, we’re asking for individual monthly donations of at least $10. In exchange, you’ll receive tax receipts, a thank-you gift of our quarterly magazine delivered to your door, and our gratitude for helping continue our mission. If you have any questions about the donating process, please write to [email protected].

Support the Media that Speaks to You

Jewish Canadians deserve more than social media rumours, adversarial action alerts, and reporting with biases that are often undisclosed. The Canadian Jewish News proudly offers independent national coverage on issues that impact our audience each day, as a conduit for conversations that bridge generations. 

It’s an outlet you can count on—but we’re also counting on you.

Please support Jewish journalism that’s creative, innovative, and dedicated to breaking new ground to serve your community, while building on media traditions of the past 65 years. As a Registered Journalism Organization, contributions of any size are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
