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.
Nitzan Chapter
Our chapter includes women of all ages, many with professional careers, and with families in varying stages of life. We share enthusiasm and a strong commitment to the values and ideals of Na'amat through generous volunteering of both time and energy. We meet monthly to enjoy interesting speakers and presentations, to engage with the larger Hamilton community, to connect with one another, and to plan fundraising and special events or projects.
