Outreach
Through a variety of programs and grants, GEN J is connecting people and ideas with one another and the Montreal Jewish community at large. GEN J is providing a gateway into Jewish life through welcoming, educational community programs that reach out to and engage less affiliated members of our community.

Programs

  • Promise Grants for Informal Experiences are one-time, non-recurring grants awarded to Jewish organizations and grassroots groups to seed innovation for programs that serve teens in non-Jewish high schools, young adults, young families, and interfaith couples and families. (more)
  • The PJ Library® - Jewish Bedtime Stories & Songs for Families The PJ Library is an award-winning program that supports families on their Jewish journey by offering free, high-quality Jewish books and music that foster learning and create a gateway for deeper engagement in Jewish life.

  • GEN J’s “Tools for Shuls” is a capacity-building program for synagogues, which is funded by the Jewish Community Foundation. The program is designed to empower synagogue leaders to re-imagine synagogue life in Montreal and strengthen the synagogues’ capacities for long-term growth. (more)
  • Over 180 families participated in a year-long series of fun and educational programs revolving around the theme of Shabbat. It drew the interest of so many because of the secular, mainstream programming through which they were offered. (eg: sushi-making; meditation and relaxation; wine-tasting, etc).  (more)
