Strengthening Jewish Identity Through Education
La’ad Canada is a Jewish education organization dedicated to strengthening Jewish authenticity, self-understanding, and dignity in a world that increasingly pressures Jews to redefine themselves for external approval.
Grounded in Jewish history, Torah, and lived experience, La’ad works from a simple premise: Jewish life flourishes when it is rooted in honesty and internal clarity, not when it is shaped by the shifting expectations of others. Again and again, history shows that attempts to secure belonging through self-erasure fail — not only because the world resists them, but because Jewish identity is not infinitely malleable.
La’ad exists to address this reality directly and responsibly. Our work helps Jews understand enduring historical patterns, clarify their own Jewish identity, and engage the broader world without panic, apology, or distortion. We are not an advocacy organization, and we are not focused on persuasion. Our emphasis is education — inward clarity first, outward engagement second.
La’ad’s work spans Jewish identity education, public understanding of antisemitism, and institutional engagement through carefully designed programs and resources. This includes the Who Are the Jews? educational exhibit, as well as the CARE Project, which provides clarity-driven training for educators, public servants, and institutions.
