Since 1926, the United Jewish People’s Order (UJPO) has promoted secular Jewish culture and education with a commitment to social justice. Our vibrant community — founded on Yiddishkeit — comes to life through the Morris Winchevsky School, Camp Naivelt, Jewish holiday celebrations and our commitment to social activism.

 

Our programs focus on secular celebrations of Jewish holidays, cultural events, lectures, educational forums and discussions on historical and current struggles for social justice, and participation in social justice campaigns and networks. UJPO’s current social justice priorities include support for Indigenous Rights, the Environment, Economic & Racial Justice, LGBTQ+ struggles and activism related to Israel/Palestine.

 

For many years the Toronto Jewish Folk Choir provided the musical component of our programming.  Now our new participatory singing group, Zing! Zing! Zing!, meets monthly.

 

The base of  our operations is the Winchevsky Centre — a progressive secular Jewish community centre that houses our offices and meeting hall. Our doors are open and welcoming to people across culture, language, gender identity, sexual orientation and belief.

​

Our organization is volunteer-based and there are always ways to become involved.
