MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP 

Dear Friends, 

BOARD CHAIR – GREG SAMUELS 

Spring is a time of renewal and growth for our entire community, 

and this year’s season has been a period of particularly positive 

change for JFSA, beginning with the appointment of our new 

permanent Executive Director, Charlotte Katzen. The Board was 

unanimous in our decision to appoint Charlotte to the agency’s top 

position and we hope you will join us in welcoming her. After 24 

years of service with JFSA, Charlotte brings with her a wealth of 

experience and skills. 

In the past months under Charlotte’s leadership, the agency has developed some of its most 

important programs. From the “List of Urgent Client Needs” initiative, which raised funds to 

meet the crucial needs of our seniors and most vulnerable low-income community members, 

to the expansion of the “YOU Matter” program, which delivers critical outreach services to atrisk 

youth in our community, this has been a time of growth and development of the agency’s 

reach and impact in our community. This month’s edition of JFSA’S magazine, “Family Matters,” 

features some of the vital work that has been accomplished. 

Both our 2013 Friends of the Family Annual Campaign and the Innovators Lunch were highly 

successful fundraisers. The Friends campaign launched this winter resulted in acquiring 

critically important funding for a variety of important programs and services that support and 

empower lives in our community. At the ninth annual Innovators Lunch on April 10th, attendees 

were inspired by JFSA clients who came forward to share their stories of the ways in which the 

agency helped them to overcome significant challenges and adversity. At www.jfsa.ca you can 

view our annual video to see for yourselves the powerful role the agency plays and appreciate 

the huge difference it makes in the quality of life for many people who live among us. 

Todah Rabah to everyone who supports JFSA in its various fundraising endeavors. In 

particular, I note that the success of the Innovators Lunch was due in no small part to our 

dedicated chairs, volunteers, donors and staff. We are most grateful for their hard work 

and ongoing commitment. 

The more I witness firsthand the success stories that emanate from the work at JFSA the 

more I realize what a gift it is to lead this special organization that empowers its clients to 

achieve personal renewal and growth at all stages of life. On behalf of the more than 2,000 

people whose lives are improved by your gifts, I thank you, the donors, for your support. 

We should all be proud of the vital work that we are enabling through JFSA. 

Sincerely, 

Greg Samuels 

Board Chair

NEW FACES AT JFSA 

Frieda Miller | Board Member 

Frieda Miller has a background in art education, museum 

 

recently retired as the Executive Director of the Vancouver 

Holocaust Education Centre. Before that, she was the Centre’s 

 

VHEC, Frieda helped curate and present many of the centre’s 

innovative exhibits, education websites, school programs 

and public events and was responsible for securing large programming grants. She was a 

Canadian delegate to the International Task Force on the Holocaust. 

Frieda was raised in Montreal, where she taught art education at all levels of instruction 

including at Concordia University. After moving to Vancouver over twenty years ago, she 

became a Faculty Associate in Education at the University of British Columbia and an 

instructor at Simon Fraser University. Frieda has a particular commitment to the needs of 

Holocaust survivors and immigrants. 

Shuli Ben-Moshe | Controller (Accounting) 

 

 

experience with JFSA was as a client, when she came seeking 

 

of JFSA’s Employment and Resettlement Departments, Shuli 

 

earned her CGA designation. Shuli soon became a volunteer at 

JFSA, assisting newcomers with their job searches and helping 

them to work on their employment skills. She also leads tax seminars in Hebrew. Her belief 

that “a strong Jewish Community is an outcome of a supporting environment” inspired her 

to volunteer, and she was honoured as JFSA’s Resettlement Volunteer of 2011. Shuli now 

joins the JFSA team as Controller in the Accounting Department. She is delighted to be 

working with such a capable and passionate team. 

| Senior Bookkeeper 

Dafna is delighted to be joining the JFSA staff as Senior 

Bookkeeper. Following the completion of her education in 

Israel, Dafna worked in a variety of industries including 

 

garnering over ten years of accounting experience. Work 

in the Jewish community is one of Dafna’s passions, having 

previously worked for Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver. 

She is excited to be part of this dynamic and committed team.

BASIC RESOURCES 

The Architecture of Opportunity 

Phyllis Lambert, a Jewish-Canadian 

architect and philanthropist once 

remarked “… Social housing is the 

architecture of opportunity”. Recently, 

JFSA has witnessed multiple real-life 

examples to support this insightful quote: 

A young man, in addiction recovery for 

two years, marries and moves into a 

subsidized one-bedroom apartment 

enabling him to walk to his job. A refugee 

 

 

temporary housing. Several months later, 

they receive a subsidy from the Esther 

Dayson Fund for a two bedroom apartment 

in their neighbourhood. A single mother 

of four children, one with a debilitating 

degenerative condition, can afford to live 

in Vancouver, the city recommended by 

her child’s specialists as being climatically 

better for her child’s prognosis. An elderly 

couple’s family sponsorship breaks down, 

threatening their housing. JFSA is able 

to move them into a subsidized Jewish 

by Laura Stannard, Housing Coordinator 

There is no doubt that lives are profoundly changed and 

enhanced with safe, secure and affordable housing. 

seniors’ building. There is no doubt that lives are profoundly changed and enhanced 

with safe, secure and affordable housing. 

To be sure, none of this could happen without JFSA’s partnerships, both within 

and outside of Vancouver’s Jewish community. In particular, Tikva Housing Society, 

which administers the Esther Dayson Rent Subsidy Program, is an invaluable 

resource, stepping up to the plate to provide rent subsidies and affordable housing 

where, too often, government fails. The ability to refer appropriate candidates 

to Jewish housing societies makes the job of the Housing Coordinator at JFSA 

 

streamlines the process for people in need of supported housing and helps to ensure 

appropriateness and fairness on JFSA’s housing waitlist. 

To ensure everyone has a home, we need all levels of government funding new 

construction of social housing. Ask your MLA and MP about their housing strategies 

and funding commitments to sustain the “Architecture of Opportunity”.

Maot Chittim 

“Let all who are hungry come and eat.” 

Passover Haggadah 

OVER $21,000 WAS 

RAISED THROUGH 

THE MAOT CHITTIM 

CAMPAIGN 

The Rabbinical Assocation of Vancouver 

(RAV) wishes to thank all the generous 

donors who made the Maot Chittim 

Campaign a success. 

Jewish Family Service Agency experienced 

an incredible outpouring of community 

kindness by means of donations and 

volunteer time spent packaging Food 

Hampers for Maot Chittim. Due to this 

generous support, JFSA was able to deliver 

over 100 Hampers to those in need, 

helping to ensure that no one went without 

 

Additionally, JFSA used funds raised to 

make purchases from local Kosher venues 

including: Omnitsky Kosher Deli, Kosher 

Warehouse and Vancouver Judaica-Group. 

As well, the ongoing support of 3 Vets and 

Vera’s Burgers made storing the Hamper 

ingredients possible. Clients received 

 

 

 

It’s become very clear that with the help of 

 

the holidays is possible for everyone.

COUNSELLING 

From High School to University 

 

 

Like many other therapists, I have said to my clients that there are beginnings in 

endings. One of the more remarkable endings for a youth is the completion of high 

school and the beginning of post secondary school. I certainly recall how “adult” I felt 

when I attended college at 17 – not an adult whatsoever, but having all the freedoms of 

one, was exciting. 

 

their studies, writing their exams, preparing for college and otherwise getting ready 

for a very large transition into young adulthood. For many, this transition is fraught 

with excitement and anxiety. Few things prepare youth for the rather bracing change 

 

 

hours per day; students are frequently 

directed and supported in their studies 

and may have much attention from 

teachers. University is different in that 

the student is responsible for their 

learning; lectures may be only 15 hours 

per week; teachers may have 200 or 

more students per class. 

 

manage a balance of lecture time and 

self-directed study. Such study can be 

very challenging for students who may 

not have learned how to apply discipline 

to this way of learning. 

 

tests, exams and papers are worth a 

large percentage of the total grade; 

showing up to class is critical to be able 

 

 

relative or perhaps complete freedom for 

 

 

for other activities, which they might 

not have had the ability to participate 

in previously. If a university student is 

not adequately prepared to balance 

their newfound personal freedom with 

studies and social activities, the result 

is frequently the familiar failing grades 

 

years of school - always unpopular 

with parents footing the bill. 

 

university holds much importance 

for many students who may have 

had a conservative home-life. 

There are new friends, exciting 

classes, brainy professors and novel 

adventures. Additionally, there may 

be great temptations or pressures 

to participate in alcohol and drug 

misuse; this will be a test to balance 

those temptations with the need to 

remain focused on academic studies. 

Making such a transition can be overwhelming for some students. They might 

 

succeeding with good marks. It’s a lot of pressure that families and the students put 

on themselves. One doesn’t necessarily go from being a high school student to being a 

university adult without some tumult. 

10

COUNSELLING 

SO, WHAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL? 

HERE ARE MY SUGGESTIONS: 

 

transition with your teachers, family, friends – 

whomever can share their experience with you 

 

help with them before university 

 

the summer and check out where your classes will 

 

compex and other key sites 

 

organized for their classes, they often are less anxious and can learn better. 

Do whatever it takes to organize your time, schedule, transit, etc. 

Don’t lose sight of your values – You can be tempted or pulled into doing things 

 

thoughtful about why you are at university 

 

feel more connected to the school experience, and it’s also a good way to 

feel supported 

Talk – If you are truly anxious and not feeling well, talk to a school counsellor or 

 

yourself overwhelmed, as there are many ways to succeed at school. Perhaps 

part-time studies are more appropriate, for instance 

Enjoy the experience – This time passes too quickly

EMPLOYMENT 

Skilled Trades Advancement 

 

JFSA is delighted to have received 

funding from an anonymous foundation 

for the piloting and growth of a Skilled 

 

Based on a highly successful 14-year 

program in Nepal, the Skilled Trades 

 

leg-up to those either currently in, or 

looking to enter, a career in the trades. 

The long-term goal is to build more 

support infrastructure within the Jewish 

community for those looking to enter 

careers outside of a university education. 

 

employment options available to our community will help strengthen the 

support structures available for those in a variety of career paths. 

The immediate goal is to provide low-income people looking to learn a trade, 

to upgrade their current trade skills, or to transfer a skill set from another 

 

resources. Individual case managers will refer potential candidates from any of 

JFSA’s departments. 

The medium-term goal is to pair the candidates with community leaders 

 

 

identify and work with employers willing to assist these candidates. 

With its broad reach both culturally and geographically, as well as its many 

years of experience, JFSA’s Employment Services Department is uniquely 

positioned to deliver this innovative program.

I come from a long line of 

tradespersons and was the 

first in my family to attend 

university. I know the importance 

of supporting those looking 

to advance their skills, and of 

empowering our community 

members to achieve their 

career aspirations.

Meet Our Home Support 

Dream Team 

BY JOANNE HARAMIA, DIRECTOR OF SENIORS SERVICES 

SENIORS 

It is with great pleasure and pride that I introduce you to three of our thirty Home Support 

workers - the program’s heroes. Our clients consistently comment on how committed, reliable, 

 

“ Anita is very honest, she sees what is to be done and then just 

does it and we have fun” – Mrs. N., Home Support Client 

Anita, a licensed practical nurse, joined JFSA three years ago. For the 

 

bound lady who required mechanical lifting and assistance with all 

aspects of personal care and feeding. Now she cares for two clients, 

 

with preparing breakfast, dressing and shopping. She assists another 

 

husband with personal assistance. Daughters of the couple appreciate 

Anita - she is dependable, respectful and helpful. 

“Diana is kind, compassionate and caring.” 

– Mrs. S., Home Support Client 

 

She works four days a week with two seniors who are in the same 

complex. One, Mrs. S. suffers from severe depression. The second, Mr. B. 

relies on her for breakfast delivery, showering, medication reminders, 

and intelligent discussion. Staff appreciate her calm, attentive approach 

to all assignments. 

“To us, she is like family.” – Home Support client 

Virina has been with JFSA since 2011. She works six days a week, 

 

 

physical limitations. To them, she is like family. She consistently works 

three evenings in order to help her clients get ready for bed. 

 

weekend needs, treat all their clients with respect and compassion, go above what is 

required, and remain professional in all aspects of their work. They exemplify the standard of 

our Home Support service. Thank you for your commitment to the program.

IMMIGRANT RESETTLEMENT 

Welcoming Them Home 

 

readiness, and a connection to the 

Jewish and general communities, our 

Resettlement Counsellors are here 

to provide a starting point for their 

Canadian journey. 

Thousands of new immigrants arrive in 

Canada every year seeking a better life. 

Each arrives under their own unique 

set of circumstances and backgrounds. 

Some have the support of already present 

family members; others come completely 

alone. For many, Canadian culture is an 

entirely foreign experience. 

Each year, JFSA assists approximately 300 

Jewish immigrants in their journey through 

Canadian society. From the moment of 

their arrival, to the beginning of their 

careers, JFSA’s goal is to welcome each of 

them to their new home here in Canada. 

What follows is a brief summary of the 

services JFSA’s Immigrant Resettlement 

Department provides to immigrants in 

our community. 

One-on-One Services 

Every immigrant’s story is unique, and 

JFSA tailors its services to be effective 

for each individual and family. From 

information access, referrals, counselling, 

Common questions involve locating 

 

affordable housing and preparing for 

employment. Resettlement Counsellors 

work closely with our Employment 

Services Department to facilitate 

introductions to the Canadian workforce. 

Speaker Bureau Series 

Those of us born here often take 

Canadian society’s intricacies for 

granted. For a new immigrant, however, 

our systems can be daunting. JFSA 

delivers an educational series every two 

months addressing topics that are critical 

for successful integration into Canadian 

society. These are delivered by experts in 

 

topics as the Canadian Education system, 

BC’s Medical system, and Canadian 

Banking & Tax systems, among others. 

The series is facilitated by Russian and 

Hebrew speaking professionals in our 

community who volunteer their time 

to deliver pertinent information in the 

native language of the participants. 

Integration 

We want every immigrant to feel 

themselves a part of our community. 

That is why we offer a variety of 

14

IMMIGRANT RESETTLEMENT 

integration services, including the 

Former Immigrant to Newcomer 

Connection. This program engages 

former immigrants in reaching out to 

newcomers (matches are made by JFSA 

Counsellors) through social events 

around Jewish holidays, and events with 

speakers from the Jewish community 

on topics selected by the participants. 

Facilitated by Resettlement Counsellors, 

the program’s success depends entirely 

on the efforts of volunteers from the 

pool of former and new immigrants. 

 

committed to the program. 

Outreach in the Tri-cities 

Last year, enabled by a three-year grant 

from the Jewish Community Foundation, 

our Immigrant Resettlement and Basic 

Resources departments collaborated on 

an outreach program to families living in 

the Tri City area (Burnaby, Coquitlam, 

 

Resource Network (JFRN). With the 

rising cost of housing in Vancouver, 

more and more Jewish immigrants 

are settling outside of the traditional 

borders of the Jewish community. We 

want to ensure that these families remain 

a welcome part of our diverse community 

and that their connection to Jewish 

culture and our services are not lost 

because of physical distance. The goal of 

the program is to connect these families to 

activities within the Jewish community 

and provide support to those in need 

of basic resources, especially those 

who are female heads of households. 

An outreach worker (himself a former 

immigrant) provides information and 

resources, connects those living in 

the Tri-cities to the Vancouver Jewish 

Community and promotes activities 

that bring people together to celebrate 

Jewish holidays and lifecycle events. A 

JFSA Resettlement Counselor directly 

supervises this worker. There are 

 

that are connected through the JFRN. 

Bus Tours 

Vancouver may not seem like a large 

city to those familiar with other parts 

of North America, but for a new 

 

the various locales. JFSA offers City 

Tours for Russian-speaking immigrants, 

facilitated by our Russian-speaking 

 

learn about the rich history of Jewish 

and Civic sites, helping to connect them 

more closely with their new home. From 

spring through early fall, we offer four 

tours at a fraction of the cost of regular 

tour services. 

For more information on the 

Immigrant Resettlement Department, 

please contact Charlotte Katzen at 

604.257.5151 or ckatzen@jfsa.ca 

Each year, JFSA assists approximately 

300 Jewish immigrants in their journey 

through Canadian society.

DEVELOPMENT 

List of Urgent Client Needs 

Earlier this year, we announced our list 

of Urgent Client Needs. While JFSA 

provides programs and services that 

support individuals and families from

A big thank you to 

our 575 attendees, 

our incredible

donors and our 

amazing committee and volunteers for making this a 

memorable event. Together, we raised over $280,000!*

Over the course of its 76 years, the heart of JFSA has 

always been the spirit of “Tikkun Olam”. Our organization
