UJA's Café Hafooch is a program linking Israeli students with Canadian adults through a 6-week online course. It began as a way for the high school students to improve their English skills and for the adults to feel a stronger bond to Israel.
However, UJA's Café Hafooch turned into so much more than that.
Through deep conversations on a wide range of important topics, all participants are able to feel a connection to Jews on the other side of the world and gain new perspectives on what it’s like to live where they do. Better awareness and understanding are common outcomes of the program, with the majority of those involved feeling like they gained new knowledge and new friends.
Relating ourselves to Israelis and them to us is so important for maintaining positive relationships, strengthening connections among Jews, and acquiring the perspectives of how others live. This makes the Café Hafooch program invaluable.
