Jews for Jesus Canada

Formed as a nonprofit organization in 1973, established in Canada in 1981, we remain true to the original heart of our Jewish heritage, live a meaningful Jewish life today, and have abundant hope for the future.

Jews for Jesus became the name of the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 1973, but it’s nothing new; Jewish people have been believing in Jesus since, well, Jesus! Just as we have joyfully passed down our rich heritage from generation to generation, we also pass down the hope our ancestors had in a coming Messiah—a hope we believe is realized in Jesus.Many Jewish people have still never heard that faith in Jesus is a viable and thriving expression of Jewish life, and we want to change that! After all, every person should have the opportunity to decide who the Messiah is for themselves—not let that decision be made for them by rabbis 2,000 years ago.
