CIJA’s goal is to enhance unity while preserving the range of viewpoints that exist among Canada’s vibrant Jewish community. When combined with a broad sense of solidarity, a healthy diversity of opinion among Jewish Canadians is a source of community strength and vitality.

Our priorities encompass a wide range of issues including human rights, religious freedom, social justice, national security, foreign affairs, and Canada-Israel relations. Our priorities are the product of extensive consultation and research with our community and reflect a broad-based consensus.
