Welcome to Ottawa’s Jewish Community!

Ottawa’s growing Jewish community of 15,000 enjoys a rich heritage. At its heart is the Jewish Community Campus, located in the west end at Broadview and Kerr Avenues, home to Federation and to several of our agencies including the Soloway JCC.

Whether you are new to Ottawa, or looking for information about Ottawa Jewish life, we are here to help. 

Come in for a visit! We are happy to meet with you, tell you about our community and connect you to people and groups based on your interests. To set up a meeting or to speak to someone right away, please contact Lindsay at lgottheil@jewishottawa.com or call (613) 798-4696 x 355.  Below are some helpful resources.
