BUILDING TOMORROW, TOGETHER
Choose One Thing More
Your presence matters. Your participation, membership and support can help secure a warm, vibrant and sustainable Jewish future in Victory Park.
Nobody is expected to do everything. But every one of us can do something.
Victory Park Belongs to All of Us
Whether you attend every week, join us occasionally, have belonged in the past or are looking for a Jewish community to call home, you have a place at Victory Park.
For generations, people have given their time, commitment and financial support to sustain Jewish life in our neighbourhood. Today, as we prepare for the changes ahead, that shared responsibility matters more than ever.
The future of Victory Park will not be determined by a building or an address. It will be determined by the people who choose to belong, participate, contribute and care.
Buildings give a community a place to gather. People give a community its soul.
The Campus May Change. Our Community Will Continue.
At some stage, the present campus will be sold and we will need to make plans for a new home. Where that will be is still to be decided—but Victory Park Hebrew Congregation is not closing. There are simply too many of us, and too much Jewish life, for this community to cease.
Despite the uncertainty, there is more activity taking place than there has been in many years. This is a time to replace rumours with participation and doubt with action. Financial support should not wait for every future detail to be known; it is what enables us to shape that future with confidence.
Now, more than ever, we need Bitachon, Emunah and the active commitment of each member of our community.

Our Future Is a Shared Responsibility
As we begin a new year, let us ask not only what we hope to receive from our community, but also:
What can I do to strengthen Victory Park?
If each of us chooses one thing more, we can preserve what previous generations built, meet the challenges ahead and create a warm, vibrant and sustainable spiritual home for those who will follow us.
Thank you for choosing to be part of our future.
