Vered Israel Cultural & Educational Program
The Vered families have established a special program to foster Israeli culture in Ottawa. The Vered Israel Cultural & Educational program presents concerts, lectures, and exhibitions in association with the Embassy of Israel, as well as other organizations.
Israeli House – Bayit Israeli
Israeli House was founded by the Vered Israel Cultural and 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 holiday celebrations have Israeli music and flavour. We have all the information about Israeli performers coming to Ottawa and Montreal. Join us and the 265 Ottawa families already involved in Israeli House.
Information about events and a schedule of the Israeli House meetings and celebrations are sent out via e-mail to all members. Membership is free.
