A Reflection of Israel, Right Here in Winnipeg

The Rady JCC’s mission is to be the centre of the community providing the best in Jewish culture, fitness and wellness programs for all stages of life.

The JCC is a destination for Canadian newcomers, especially from Israel, and we frequently offer Hebrew language and Israeli focused programming to help this piece of Canada feel like home.

Whether it’s our annual Israel Pavilion at Folklorama, or social and community events throughout the year, we welcome new members to our community.
