MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP
BOARD CHAIR – GREG SAMUELS
Dear Friends,
Spring is a time of renewal and growth for our entire community,
and this year’s season has been a period of particularly positive
change for JFSA, beginning with the appointment of our new
permanent Executive Director, Charlotte Katzen. The Board was
unanimous in our decision to appoint Charlotte to the agency’s top
position and we hope you will join us in welcoming her. After 24
years of service with JFSA, Charlotte brings with her a wealth of
experience and skills.
In the past months under Charlotte’s leadership, the agency has developed some of its most
important programs. From the “List of Urgent Client Needs” initiative, which raised funds to
meet the crucial needs of our seniors and most vulnerable low-income community members,
to the expansion of the “YOU Matter” program, which delivers critical outreach services to atrisk youth in our community, this has been a time of growth and development of the agency’s
reach and impact in our community. This month’s edition of JFSA’S magazine, “Family Matters,”
features some of the vital work that has been accomplished.
Both our 2013 Friends of the Family Annual Campaign and the Innovators Lunch were highly
successful fundraisers. The Friends campaign launched this winter resulted in acquiring
critically important funding for a variety of important programs and services that support and
empower lives in our community. At the ninth annual Innovators Lunch on April 10th, attendees
were inspired by JFSA clients who came forward to share their stories of the ways in which the
agency helped them to overcome significant challenges and adversity. At www.jfsa.ca you can
view our annual video to see for yourselves the powerful role the agency plays and appreciate
the huge difference it makes in the quality of life for many people who live among us.
Todah Rabah to everyone who supports JFSA in its various fundraising endeavors. In
particular, I note that the success of the Innovators Lunch was due in no small part to our
dedicated chairs, volunteers, donors and staff. We are most grateful for their hard work
and ongoing commitment.
The more I witness firsthand the success stories that emanate from the work at JFSA the
more I realize what a gift it is to lead this special organization that empowers its clients to
achieve personal renewal and growth at all stages of life. On behalf of the more than 2,000
people whose lives are improved by your gifts, I thank you, the donors, for your support.
We should all be proud of the vital work that we are enabling through JFSA.
Sincerely,
Greg Samuels
Board Chair

Shuli Ben-Moshe | Controller (Accounting)
experience with JFSA was as a client, when she came seeking
of JFSA’s Employment and Resettlement Departments, Shuli
earned her CGA designation. Shuli soon became a volunteer at
JFSA, assisting newcomers with their job searches and helping
them to work on their employment skills. She also leads tax seminars in Hebrew. Her belief
that “a strong Jewish Community is an outcome of a supporting environment” inspired her
to volunteer, and she was honoured as JFSA’s Resettlement Volunteer of 2011. Shuli now
joins the JFSA team as Controller in the Accounting Department. She is delighted to be
working with such a capable and passionate team.
| Senior Bookkeeper

Bookkeeper. Following the completion of her education in
Israel, Dafna worked in a variety of industries including
garnering over ten years of accounting experience. Work

previously worked for Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver.
She is excited to be part of this dynamic and committed team.

The Architecture of Opportunity
by Laura Stannard, Housing Coordinator
Phyllis Lambert, a Jewish-Canadian
architect and philanthropist once
remarked “… Social housing is the
architecture of opportunity”. Recently,
JFSA has witnessed multiple real-life
examples to support this insightful quote:
A young man, in addiction recovery for
two years, marries and moves into a
subsidized one-bedroom apartment
enabling him to walk to his job. A refugee
temporary housing. Several months later,
they receive a subsidy from the Esther
Dayson Fund for a two bedroom apartment
in their neighbourhood. A single mother
of four children, one with a debilitating
degenerative condition, can afford to live
in Vancouver, the city recommended by
her child’s specialists as being climatically
better for her child’s prognosis. An elderly
couple’s family sponsorship breaks down,
There is no doubt that lives are profoundly changed and
threatening their housing. JFSA is able

to move them into a subsidized Jewish
seniors’ building. There is no doubt that lives are profoundly changed and enhanced
with safe, secure and affordable housing.
To be sure, none of this could happen without JFSA’s partnerships, both within
and outside of Vancouver’s Jewish community. In particular, Tikva Housing Society,
which administers the Esther Dayson Rent Subsidy Program, is an invaluable
resource, stepping up to the plate to provide rent subsidies and affordable housing
where, too often, government fails. The ability to refer appropriate candidates
to Jewish housing societies makes the job of the Housing Coordinator at JFSA
streamlines the process for people in need of supported housing and helps to ensure
appropriateness and fairness on JFSA’s housing waitlist.
To ensure everyone has a home, we need all levels of government funding new
construction of social housing. Ask your MLA and MP about their housing strategies
and funding commitments to sustain the “Architecture of Opportunity”.

facilitated by our Russian-speaking
Resource Network ( JFRN). With the
rising cost of housing in Vancouver,
more and more Jewish immigrants
are settling outside of the traditional
borders of the Jewish community. We
want to ensure that these families remain
a welcome part of our diverse community
and that their connection to Jewish
culture and our services are not lost

the program is to connect these families to
learn about the rich history of Jewish

more closely with their new home. From
