Walking with Oma is a memoir and travel narrative about a woman retracing her Jewish grandmother’s forced journey at the end of World War II. 

Overall, it’s about walking—both literally and emotionally—alongside a grandmother’s past in order to make peace with history, identity, and inherited memory.

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.

In this Year in Review you will find:

• The opening of the innovative Kanot Middle School
• How did an emergency relief campaign support families in crisis
• Our community programs across Canada
• News from Na'amat Israel & Na'amat International
• 100 years of Na’amat celebrated together

A building is just walls, until we fill it with opportunity.

At Kanot Youth Village in Israel, hundreds of vulnerable teens find not just a school, but a second chance. Many come from poverty, trauma, or instability. Kanot gives them safety, support, and the tools to succeed.

Now, a brand-new middle school building has been constructed on campus, designed as a “school for the future”. It’s ready… almost.

To open its doors in September 2025, we need your help to furnish and equip this vital space. 

Your donation will help provide:

• Desks and chairs
• Science and technology equipment
• Art and music supplies
• Air conditioning, whiteboards, and more 

Every donation  is an investment in a young person’s future.

Because it truly takes a village to turn hope into action.
