Jewish Appeal: Jewish and Uja Toronto

jewish appeal: The largest in the network, UJA Toronto's endowment and planned giving arm, has 500 million in assets and planned gifts, according to Rabble. CJA Montr al has over 300 million on hand. Together the United Jewish Appeal/Combined Jewish Appeal of Toronto, Montr al, Winnipeg, Windsor, Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton, London, Ottawa, Vancouver and Atlantic Canada raise over 100 million annually. In a recent letter to the Canadian Jewish News, Morris Sosnovitch asked why UJA Toronto gives a quarter of its budget to a country with a 360-billion national budget. The Jewish Federations also oversee the United Israel Appeal Federations Canada. All Canadian taxpayers should ask why tax deductions are given for the 13.7 million UJA Toronto, 3.8 million CJA Montr al, and 1.12 million CJA Vancouver donated last year to Israel, among the world's 25 wealthiest countries, run for the past decade by one of the most right-wing governments in the world.
