Canadian Jewish Congress

@Canadian_Jewish_Congress

The Canadian Jewish Congress (Congrès juif canadien, קאַנאַדער ײִדישער קאָנגרעס, הקונגרס היהודי הקנדי) was, for more than ninety years, the main advocacy group for the Jewish community in Canada

Regarded by many as the "Parliament of Canadian Jewry," the Congress was at the forefront of the struggle for human rights, equality, immigration reform and civil rights in Canada

The organization disbanded in July 2011 following a reorganization of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, of which the CJA became a subsidiary in 2007.
