Room to Heal - Help us rebuild the Glickman Centre
Healing begins in a safe and dignified space.
For women and children escaping violence, a bedroom is more than a place to sleep. It is the first place where fear can ease, privacy is restored, and healing can begin.
Through the Room to Heal campaign, Na’amat Canada is rebuilding 12 bedrooms at the Na’amat Canada Glickman Centre for Family Violence Prevention in Tel Aviv — the first women’s shelter established in Israel.
This is a project Canada helped build. Now, we proudly rebuild it.
Our goal is to raise $140,000 to ensure that every room reflects safety, dignity, and care from the moment a family walks through the door.
We are honoured to announce the
Benny Freedman z”l Match For Hope
Through Holocaust survivor Benny Freedman's Legacy, we have received a generous gift of $70,000 to match every dollar raised toward our $140,000 goal.
The need is urgent.
The impact is immediate.
For more than 30 years the Glickman Centre has provided shelter, counselling, legal support, and rehabilitation programs for women and children experiencing abuse.
The bedrooms are central to this mission.
We stand with Israel- When crisis calls we answer!
Emergency Relief - We Stand with Israel
Moved by urgency and unity, Na’amat Canada is launching its Emergency Relief Campaign under the banner: When crisis calls, we answer.
Your generosity brings safety, care, and hope to families who need us most.
Am Yisrael Chai.
Our Chapters
New to Edmonton? Looking to make new friends? Want to make a difference? Na’amat Canada Edmonton boasts two strong vibrant chapters — Avivah and Tikvah. The women in our clubs share common interests and a passion for helping women, children and families in Israel and Edmonton.
Meet Our Chapters
Avivah
Avivah Chapter was founded in the 1960s as a group of young married women, many juggling careers and family responsibilities. They led and now assist in a variety of Edmonton fundraising activities. Many Avivah members attended local, national, and Israel Leadership Seminars and actively participated in National Conventions as well as held positions on the National board. They are proud of their work over the years and continue to support Na’amat. Now in their 80s, the Avivah chapter has been a real inspiration to the younger members.
Tikvah (Ages 45–70)
Tikvah chapter was founded in 1989 by a group of friends who were looking for ways to connect with other Jewish women and make a difference. The Tikvah members are passionate about the Jewish community and supporting women and children in Israel and Canada. We have celebrated life events together and supported each other in good times and bad. We enjoy our traditional meetings such as Hamantaschen Baking and an annual Sukkah Hop just as much as a variety of speakers, season opening and closing programs, and organizing fundraising activities. As members, we’ve enjoyed attending, and have learned so much from, Na’amat leadership seminars and conventions, both locally and nationally. A real highlight for many has been going on the Israel Leadership Seminar — seeing first-hand the many Na’amat projects and services. We are passionate about Na’amat and its mandate and take pride in being a part of this amazing organization.
What We Do
Edmonton Bursaries
Na’amat Canada Edmonton is proud to provide bursaries to single mothers and other women in our province to help them complete their certificate or diploma programs. The bursaries are awarded annually and are aimed at supporting women in furthering their education, inspired by Na’amat’s longstanding scholarship program in Israel.
Cultural Programs for Seniors
We are committed to enriching the lives of seniors in our community through meaningful cultural initiatives. Each year, for Purim, members of the Tikvah Chapter bake traditional hamantaschen and assemble Mishloach Manot (gifts of food), which are thoughtfully packaged and delivered to seniors, helping foster connection and celebration.
Community Support Initiatives
Na’amat Canada Edmonton also supports local women and families in need through community outreach programs. This includes providing backpacks filled with school supplies for kids to local women’s shelters, helping ensure children have the tools they need for a successful school year.
