Upcoming Events
Mor Chen in a Stand-up Show
(In Hebrew)
In this energetic and honest performance, she will talk about the crazy year we’ve been through, her experiences, relationships, family, female friendships, and the magical nature of human beings. With complete openness and personal charm, Mor reveals her fears, insights, and the less comedic moments of life in the funniest way possible! Mor Chen is a leading social media star and one of the pioneers of the new wave of female stand-up in Israel. She has built a loving and loyal audience online through short videos in a unique style she developed herself. This audience follows her stand-up performances across the country, alongside her appearances in TV shows like “Yes Man,” “Comedistar,” “Complicated,” and more. Mor also runs viral and popular pages on social media and is a member of the popular online group “The Israelis.”

Israeli House
Israeli House was founded by the Vered Israel Cultural & Educational Program in conjunction with the Embassy of Israel to provide Israelis and all Hebrew speaking members of the community a social and cultural outlet whereby participants can sing Hebrew songs, watch Hebrew Films, listen to Hebrew guest speakers and celebrate Jewish holidays in a Hebrew environment.
Israeli house is a great place to meet other Israelis and chat in Hebrew. Our Chanukah, Purim and Tu B’av parties are full of Israeli music and flavor. We have all the information about Israeli performers coming to Ottawa and Montreal. Join us and the 300+ Ottawa families already involved in Israeli House.
Information about events and a schedule of Israeli House meetings and celebrations are distributed via e-mail to all members. Membership is free.
Help for Israelis Sheltering in Ottawa
The Jewish Federation of Ottawa is working with Jewish partner organizations to help Israelis – including individuals, families, and seniors, who are sheltering in Ottawa during this crisis. Together with Jewish Family Services and others, we are assessing needs on an individual basis and providing access to a network of programs and supports including childcare, schooling, programs for seniors, counselling, and food security.
