The Atlantic Jewish Council (AJC) has been the cornerstone of Jewish life in the Atlantic Canadian provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland & Labrador) since 1975, acting as the organized Jewish community’s representative and program/service provider for non-religious matters. Headquartered in Halifax, with a staff complement of five full-time and three part-time employees as well as the support of over 100 volunteers across Atlantic Canada, the AJC works to advance strategic priorities including: • Reinforcing regional identity and building a sense of Jewish community across Atlantic Canada; • Strengthening Jewish identity amongst Jews in Atlantic Canada; • Supporting and connecting Atlantic Canadians to Israel; • Educating the wider community about the Holocaust and human rights; • Helping those in need in the community; • Fostering relationships with and representing Atlantic Jewry to all levels of government, academic institutions, and Jewish and general organizations at both the national and local level; and • Educating the community of Atlantic Canada at large about Judaism.
