Room to Heal - Help us rebuild the Glickman Centre

Healing begins in a safe and dignified space.

For women and children escaping violence, a bedroom is more than a place to sleep. It is the first place where fear can ease, privacy is restored, and healing can begin.

Through the Room to Heal campaign, Na’amat Canada is rebuilding 12 bedrooms at the Na’amat Canada Glickman Centre for Family Violence Prevention in Tel Aviv — the first women’s shelter established in Israel.

This is a project Canada helped build. Now, we proudly rebuild it.

 

Our goal is to raise $140,000 to ensure that every room reflects safety, dignity, and care from the moment a family walks through the door.

We are honoured to announce the 
Benny Freedman z”l Match For Hope

Through Holocaust survivor Benny Freedman's Legacy, we have received a generous gift of $70,000 to match every dollar raised toward our $140,000 goal.

The need is urgent.
The impact is immediate.

For more than 30 years the Glickman Centre has provided shelter, counselling, legal support, and rehabilitation programs for women and children experiencing abuse.

 

The bedrooms are central to this mission.

Our Clubs

Na'amat Canada Montreal is made up of three vibrant clubs — Allon, Daroma, and the Ghita Segal Group. Each has its own personality and traditions, but all share a passion for supporting women and children in Israel and Canada. Whether you're looking for fun social events, meaningful community service, or close friendships with like-minded women, you'll find a place to belong with us.

Meet Our Clubs

Allon Group

Established in the early 1980s by a group of young women, the Allon Group quickly grew to over 50 members within a decade. After a long hiatus — during which members focused on raising families, building careers, or relocating — the group has reunited for a new era. Today, the Allon Group gathers for social events and community service initiatives.

Daroma Group

This senior group has been instrumental in developing many Na’amat leaders over the years, including Montreal and National presidents. Known for their outstanding programs and fundraising efforts, these dedicated members continue to guide and support our organization in meaningful ways.

Ghita Segal Group

Formed in the early 1960s by a close-knit group of friends, this club officially joined Na’amat at the 2014 Convention. Despite some members relocating to warmer climates or closer to family, they remain deeply connected — meeting weekly on Zoom. Their activities include engaging speakers and a book club, and they actively raise funds for Na’amat scholarships for women in Israel.

What We Do

Rhodie Blanshay Benaroch Multipurpose Centre

Located within the Glickman Centre for Family Violence Prevention, this children’s centre holds a special place in the hearts of Montreal members. In memory of Rhodie z”l, whom many knew and loved, we are committed to supporting and enhancing this vital project. Our fundraising efforts ensure the centre continues to provide the highest level of care for children in the shelter.

Montreal Calendar

Each year, we produce a community calendar — available in both print and digital PDF formats — featuring Jewish and secular holidays, Montreal candle-lighting times, and advertisements from local supporters. Community members can include birthdays, anniversaries, and yahrzeits through donations. Distributed free of charge, the calendar supports local businesses while raising awareness about Na’amat.

Mah Jongg Cards

We sell official Mah Jongg League cards annually, with all proceeds supporting our projects and initiatives.

Our Co-Presidents

Anita Blanshay

Belonging to Na’amat has had a very large impact on my life. I feel that I am part of a family of women who are concerned about, and involved with, supporting the social issues in Israel and Canada. My family has seen four generations involved at Na’amat and it is a labour of love. My life with Na’amat Canada Montreal has been very rewarding. I have made lifelong friends who share in my love for Israel. Your involvement with Na’amat will be the key to our future.

Brenda Fayerman

I have been a member of Na’amat since I was a young mom. I instantly felt “at home” at Na’amat, feeling part of a cause that I could relate to, in the company of dynamic, intelligent, and committed women. I am thrilled that today my daughter, over 25 years later, is now a member of Na’amat as well. My goal as Co-President is to encourage new membership, for Jewish women of all ages — 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond! Our strength is our members and friends, and that includes you.

Heather Gordon

As a relative newcomer to Na’amat, I was attracted by its ideals and commitment to advancing the causes of women’s rights and family issues. My story is that we can become a part of Na’amat at any age and at any stage in our lives and have the opportunity to give of ourselves and belong to a meaningful and welcoming organization. We hope you will join us!
