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.

Dayan
Club Dayan is a Na'amat club that was founded in 1967 and named after the remarkable Israeli soldier Moshe Dayan. Our club meetings are held bi-monthly primarily on Zoom or outdoors. Each meeting deals with either club business or hosting interesting speakers from all walks of life. Yearly, in the autumn, along with two other clubs, we undertake a major FUNdraiser.
Ilana
Club Ilana have been meeting since 1976. They are a small yet vibrant group of women. Each member brings a wide range of personal and professional experiences to the table that allows the club to call on their local experts. The chapter's size encourages these ladies to work efficiently together and allows for partnerships with other Na'amat clubs, for events and fundraising.
Kochavim
Kochavim is one of Na'amat Canada Toronto's growing clubs. Members enjoy social events, fundraising and the opportunity to support women and children in Israel and Canada through Na'amat's many programs.
Masada
Founded in 1945 by 12 women whose mothers were members of Pioneer Women, Club Masada is celebrating over 75 years of service to Na'amat in Israel and in Canada. We have served as a role model to many clubs in Toronto guiding them in leadership and fundraising. Two of Na'amat Canada's most important fundraising projects — Chanukah "Dollars for David" and "Spiritual Adopt a Child" — were initiated by Club Masada members.
Members at Large
Because there are many women who don't have time to join a club right now, but want to belong to Na'amat, there is a special category for them. If you want to support Na'amat social services in Israel and Canada, but don't have time to attend regular meetings, becoming a member at large keeps you informed about all of the Na'amat related events occurring in Toronto, across Canada and in Israel.
Rimon
We are a dynamic, fun, and successful club of career-oriented women, mostly in our 40s and early 50s.

We welcome new members to join us and help create lasting friendships and memories.
What We Do
Support a Child's Future
Na'amat Canada's Support a Child's Future Program provides financial and emotional support to Israeli children, from newborns to high school graduates.
Donating to Na'amat Canada's "Support a Child's Future" program provides the necessary funds to support a child or teenager in one of our world-renowned facilities in Israel, ensuring they are well cared for and nurtured by specially trained staff. Teenagers, particularly "last-chance" students who cannot handle the regular school system, are supported by this program. Na'amat's technological high schools and youth villages teach them practical skills so they can successfully enter the workforce.

Mother's Day Cards and Donation Cards
Every year we celebrate Mother's Day by selling cards to either honour or remember our loved ones. Whether you send a card to a mother, a grandmother, a friend or to someone you lost touch with, it will bring a smile to their face and they will appreciate that your generosity will help a mother in Israel who is struggling to bring up her children. Both Mother's Day cards and donation cards are very successful fundraising projects.
School Supplies for Kids & Mom's Bags
Na'amat Canada Toronto worked tirelessly with many volunteers to support children, women, and men in 11 local shelters. We provided hundreds of backpacks filled with brand new school supplies, as well as personal hygiene kits for moms and dads who are living in these shelters. The majority of these individuals leave abusive situations with nothing more than the clothes on their back, and we are here to help them. Thank you to our partner, Borochov Cultural Centre and Kol Yisroel Congregation for making this project possible.
Dollars for David
The Dollars for David campaign is an annual Chanukah tradition for Na'amat Canada Toronto. We have combined Dollars for David with the Emergency Chanukah Appeal to ensure that the children's needs are being met.
