What does ‘La’ad’ mean?2019-10-28T13:24:27+00:00

It is often said that the Jews are an eternal people. But as history has shown us, in every generation our enemies come for us.

The name La’ad was chosen for those two reasons; Just as the Jewish people are eternal, the word La’ad (לעד) means forever or eternal in Hebrew.

The name לעד is also an acronym meaning להגן על דורנו (Lehagen al Dorenu) – defending our generation.

How is La’ad different?2017-12-14T17:48:35+00:00

La’ad Canada was started as an answer to the current landscape of Jewish advocacy organizations. Our philosophy is fundamentally different from other advocacy groups, as is our target audience.

Our primary focus is on building Jewish identity, and every project we undertake has that directive at its core. From our ‘Israel Indigeneity’ project, to our resources for parents and families, our goal is to strengthen Jewish identity for generations to come.

Examining the other advocacy groups around, it becomes obvious that there is an important gap. There are great organizations representing students, and fantastic work being done for baby boomers… but nothing in between. La’ad was started as a way to give Jewish millennials a voice.
