MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP
The first half of 2015 is now behind us, thus it’s time to reflect on the past
6 months and look forward to the end of the year and beyond.
Change has been a predominant theme thus far at JFSA. Senior Management
Consultant Richard Fruchter began advising the Agency in January and his wise
counsel has been invaluable as JFSA evolves to best meet the needs of our
community. With Richard’s help JFSA has:
• Strengthened its partnership with Jewish Federation, the Agency’s largest
source of funding;
• Relocated its office to 201-475 East Broadway enabling the Agency to
significantly lower costs while maintaining or increasing aid and services in
a rising cost environment; and
• Embarked on a comprehensive search for a new CEO who will leverage
the Agency’s service excellence and tremendous community support
to ensure that we fulfill our mission to enhance the quality of life for
individuals and families in our community. The process has produced
some excellent candidates thus far.
My reference to service excellence is underpinned by the little known fact that
JFSA programs have been studied and emulated by social services agencies
throughout North America. In particular, our highly respected Seniors Outreach
and Home Support Programs was approached by the United Way of the Lower
Mainland in 2013 to be the lead provider of their Better at Home services in
Kerrisdale, Oakridge and Marpole. Thanks to our personal, professional and
affordable service more than 500 seniors have benefitted this year alone.
Kudos to our hard working and deeply caring staff and management for their
exceptional performance in this regard.
Our new office at
201-475 East Broadway
in Vancouver allows
us to continue providing
you with great service
while significantly
reducing our costs.
Our 11th annual Innovators Lunch
is another example of excellence
achieved. We are extremely grateful
for the support this critical fundraiser
receives from both the Jewish
and non-Jewish communities.
This year, with the help of Brian
Scudamore’s inspiring words,
we raised over $290,000.
One of the programs that this money
helps fund is “YOU Matter”, an
intervention and prevention program for at-risk youth. Using a combination of
counselling, education, outreach, and specialized workshops we helped over
200 students reduce high-risk behaviour, increase self-esteem and self-worth in
the last year alone.
It is an honour to serve JFSA as its volunteer Chair given the importance of the
Agency to our community. On behalf of the Board I offer a humble “thank you”
to the Agency’s dedicated staff and management for their exemplary work and
to our many supporters. We wish you all the best for the summer ahead and
hope you enjoy this edition of Family Matters.

Joel Steinberg

YOUTH
Benefits of Summer Camp
JFSA Programs
4
Growing up I would go to camp every summer, first as a camper and later as
a counsellor, and I recall with fondness the many friends that I made there. If
you’ve ever been to camp you’ll probably agree that with the right people and
the right activities, it can be a life-changing experience with life-long benefits.
This past year at the JFSA we have been exceptionally fortunate to work with
donors to help provide these life-changing opportunities for children in our
community. With their assistance we’ve been able to support several families in
sending their children to camp this year through a special scholarship program.
That’s a great thing, because going to camp can reap many benefits for youth.

YOUTH
YOUTH
Here are some of the top reasons for
youth to attend camp:
TUNING OUT TECHNOLOGY
AND TUNING INTO ONE’S
SELF:
GUIDANCE AND
MENTORING:
Youth receive a lot of encouragement
from their camp counsellors and
that often leads to them developing
a greater sense of confidence in
themselves and their abilities. Placing
an emphasis on encouraging children
to believe in themselves and try new
things, no matter how challenging, sets
them up for life – it’s a win-win!
Camp is an opportunity for youth to rediscover how life works without emails,
cell-phones, tablets, Twitter and
Facebook. It puts the focus on relations
with real, live people!
BEING ACTIVE:
Children and youth are meant to
run, swim, bike, hike, walk and
play. Camp provides them with the
opportunities to be involved with all
kinds of programmes that emphasize
movement, regardless of ability, as
well as fostering an appreciation of the
natural world throughout their life.
DEVELOP SOCIAL &
RELATIONAL SKILLS:
After over three decades of
conducting interviews, many of the
adults that I’ve spoken to report that
some of their happiest memories
are from the weeks spent at summer
camp. For others, these experiences
were “life-saving” and the reason why
they “turned their life around.” I think
that the benefits are significant – a
child learns through play, and camp
is about play, both structured and
unstructured. Summer camp provides
a child with many opportunities to
learn, to grow and to develop many
of the skills that they will need as
they enter into the rather challenging
adult world.
Being at camp is a special experience
where youth learn how to get along
with others in a non-school and noncompetitive setting. It is here that
they can develop the skills they need
to cooperate, resolve conflicts, and
respect others. Best of all, a campfriend can become a best friend,
sometimes for life. Camp draws
everyone together to play, sing, eat,
laugh and care for each other and the
environment.
RESILIENCE:
At camp, youth often try things that
they may not have done or tried before
– canoeing, kayaking, hiking, artwork,
music, drama, swimming, taking a lead
in activities, etc. Doing something new
helps youth to feel successful – and
here’s that word again – confident.
Tackling something that seems a little
inhibiting is a great way to conquer
fears. Kids might have set-backs,
however in a supportive environment it
is much easier to try and try again.
This contributes to an increase in
resiliency – a kind of “I can do this”
attitude which can be very helpful as a
young adult.
GETTING FREE TIME FOR
UNSTRUCTURED PLAY:
Free from the overly-structured,
overly-scheduled routines of home
and school, life at camp gives children
much needed free time to just be
themselves: a kid! Camp is a slice of
carefree living where kids can relax,
laugh, and play.

Ah, but if I could just go back to camp
one more summer!

BASIC RESOURCES
BASIC RESOURCES
Project Sustenance:
Living in Vancouver
The Jewish community in Vancouver is
a close knit one that looks out for one
another and JFSA is proud to play a part
in helping those in need.
Together we’ve done amazing things, but
there is more to be done. That’s because
in the Vancouver Jewish community, in
your community, 1 in 6 people live in
poverty and do not have access to fresh,
healthy, affordable food.
Thirty-five years ago the community
stepped up to address this issue and
helped JFSA to create the Jewish
Food Bank that continues to this day
to meet the food security needs of
our community’s most vulnerable
individuals and families. In the face
of this challenge, we are continually
amazed at the individual generosity
of people in our community who
donate food items every day, often
without being asked.
We are incredibly grateful for their
help in collecting this food and
have been able to feed hundreds of
families over the last two months with
their contributions.
Unfortunately the demand for the
Jewish Food Bank is growing and that
means the Jewish Food Bank has to
buy food when donated goods run
out. With the help of two amazing
volunteers, the community stepped
up again and created an annual food
drive known as Project Sustenance.
We would also like to recognize the
Jewish Community Centre, Jewish
Women International, Beth Tikvah,
and Beth Israel for helping to organize
this event. Special thanks to Francie
Steen and Shelley Ail who launched
Project Sustenance and help us to
organize it every year.
What makes Project Sustenance
special? In addition to helping us
collect food for hungry families, it
gives Jewish students at local Jewish
day schools the opportunity to
practice the concept of tzedakah that
has sustained the food bank for so
long. This year the students at King
David High School, Vancouver Hebrew
Academy, and Richmond Jewish Day
School showed us how deeply they
understand this concept by exceeding
all expectations, as below:
In case you missed your chance to
donate a food item during Project
Sustenance, our second annual food
drive, Project Isaiah (which takes
place over the High Holidays) is
quickly approaching.
• Richmond Jewish Day School –
collected over 1000 cans of food
• Vancouver Hebrew Academy
collected a full carload of food
plus 6 additional cases
• King David High school had
so much food it was delivered
in a van!

VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer Spotlight:
Guy Askadsky
With the warm summer months finally
here many of us are out enjoying the sun
while going on picnics, swimming at the
beach, and camping. For Guy Askadsky,
the best part of summer is being able to
spend hours playing in the soil of the JFSA
Community Garden and growing food.
A volunteer in the garden for close to 3
years, Guy first got involved when he saw
its potential to improve the well-being
of people he counselled at JFSA and
to give back to the community. With
his help and support, individuals who
had felt socially isolated due to their
age, disability, or recent immigration
have been able to make new friends
and to improve their mental health
by working in the garden. In fact,
many have started their own little
plots in the garden that they maintain
themselves.
This amazing initiative only
costs $1,000 to run and helps
feed over 250 people.
In addition to helping people live happier
lives, Guy has helped turn their activities
into a reliable source of fresh, healthy, and
organic food for the Jewish Food Bank.
Every other week the produce that he and
his fellow volunteers have grown is sent to
the Food Bank where it is shared with over
250 people in need of food. The best part
of this food donation is that by growing
it themselves, Guy and his volunteers can
provide people with healthier foods than
they can find in a store at a much lower cost.
Even more phenomenal is that this
amazing initiative which provides so
many benefits to the community only
costs $1,000 a year to run to pay for
compost and tools. After adding in the
money made from selling plots of the
garden to individuals that cost drops
below $700! That’s pretty impressive, but
Guy thinks that this is only the beginning
and that with the right people it has the
potential to achieve even more.
Amazing initiatives like this are only
possible with the help of volunteers
like Guy and if you love to garden, we
invite you to come check the Community
Garden out and try a little bit of
gardening yourself.

CLIENT OUTCOMES
Stories of Success
“I became progressively
more anxious and
depressed through the
course of the summer.
I was utterly disconsolate
and barely able to perform
[small] tasks.”
Mental health, like physical
health, fluctuates across a
person’s lifetime.
Give More to JFSA Without Using
Your Credit Card or Writing a Cheque
Are you looking for
a way to reduce your
tax bill and make a
meaningful donation
to JFSA? Consider a
gift of securities.
Selling appreciated stock or mutual funds will
require you to pay tax on 50 per cent of the
capital gains. However, donating appreciated
securities to charity as a gift-in-kind, will help
you eliminate this requirement.
JFSA will issue you a charitable tax receipt
for the fair market value of the securities,
and most importantly you will feel
satisfaction in seeing your donation put to
good use!
Many factors can influence our
mental health – our genetic
makeup, experience with parental
or other attachment figures and
how we learn about and deal with
change. There’s often a stigma
associated with differences in
mental health. It can inhibit
people from seeking the support
they need and thus makes it
difficult for others to understand
their struggles.
At JFSA we are helping members
of our community to work through
the challenges they face, large
and small. Our supportive therapy
services provide the greatest
potential for an individual to move
through their concerns, build new
internal resources and experience
greater confidence in facing trying
periods of life.

Ben

I was reminded of the importance of this approach when a former client wrote to
tell me how much better his life has become. The man who wrote me, Ben*, was a
man in his early 60’s who fell into a deep depression after a long-term relationship
ended suddenly.
“I knew that I needed
immediate help, because
the emotions and
intensity that I was
feeling at the time were
overwhelming [and]
emotionally crippling.”
Approaching other service agencies for
help, Ben was told that despite his urgent
situation they would be unable to see him
for over eight weeks. When a person is in
crisis, waiting more than 24 hours for service
is detrimental. Fortunately, Ben was referred
to JFSA and we were able to help him right
away.
Like Ben, many of the clinical clients we see
are the result of a recent event rather than a
long-term challenge. Whether it is the loss of a loved one like Ben, or another
type of significant change, such events can provoke powerful emotions that can
have a dramatic impact on the quality of life. Fortunately Ben understood that
he needed to seek out services and received guidance in a particularly troubling
time. For several months, Ben was seen each week. Over time, he re-gained his
resiliency and was better equipped to deal with his loss.
Ben is just one of the many clients - younger or older - who have been
supported during times of personal adversity. I know, as do my colleagues,
that when clients are attended to professionally and with the utmost respect
and care, there is the greatest possibility that their enjoyment of life will be
enhanced or even restored.
“I am very grateful to you and your organization for being
there in a time of dire need in my lifepath. I have had
considerable and further improvement in the quality of
my life and relationships as I continued my sessions with
you. Thank you so much for your excellent professional help.”
What will be your legacy?
Jewish Tradition teaches that one of our key responsibilities is to make the world a
better place for future generations.
Your commitment to the Jewish community and your values is evident in your choice
to support JFSA. But have you ever considered including our agency in your will,
making a planned gift, or establishing a family endowment so you can extend your
commitment into the future?
Your legacy can provide help to individuals and families in their greatest time of
need. It is a reflection of your love of community and sacred Jewish values.
