A preliminary Statement of Purpose for Consideration and Determination
1. To promote participation in, engagement with, and a sense of ownership of the Jewish agenda in Canada by all members of the Canadian Jewish community by the establishment of active democratic local grassroots community advocacy groups across the country.
2. To provide a forum to educate, discuss and debate issues of interest and concern, both regional and national that impact Canada, the Canadian Jewish community and the welfare of the people of Israel.
3. To engage with other faith, Indigenous, racial, ethnic and cultural communities to find common cause in matters pertaining to the promotion of civil discourse, reconciliation, inclusivity and mutual understanding and to fight against antisemitism, discrimination, racism and hatred in all their forms. Many important issues facing society at large are viewed to be relevant to the Jewish community. If we are to have a voice in the society we are creating together, we must discuss and address issues as they emerge together as Canadians.
4. To engage the former leadership of Canadian Jewish Congress and new young leaders to honour, learn and draw from the legacy of the Canadian Jewish Congress, that worked and fought for social justice in Canada with the purpose of making Canada a peaceful, inclusive and just society for all of its peoples.
