Ohel Ya'akov Community Kollel, Vancouver, BC

Vancouver is a city of over 700 000. It is a diverse population of many different colours, lifestyles and religions. One of the wonders of this city lies in its ability to embrace everyone in a uniquely laid back, West Coast way. In 2000 the Ohel Ya'akov Community Kollel pinpointed this as a critical issue for Jews in Vancouver and began to create programs and events to combat the isolation and lack of resources that made Jewish life in Vancouver a challenge for so many.

The Ohel Ya'akov Community Kollel is a vibrant community, committed to making everyone feel included and at home. The Kollel provides top-quality Jewish education, programs, and events founded on respect, culture and inclusion that are accessible and relevant to modern life.

The Kollel is a centre for learning and celebrating; a place where Jewish people connect.
