About Us
Welcome to The Chai Centre
It is with an abundance of gratitude to G-d that we introduce you and your family to The Chai Centre Canada.
We are a place for people affected by addiction and mental health struggles, and for the families who carry it with them. What we offer is counselling, recovery programs and learning, held together by the belief that everyone who walks through the door deserves dignity and has room to grow. There is no judgment here, and nobody has to arrive with their life in order.
One method of The Chai Centre is to bring Jews of all backgrounds into a community-like atmosphere where we can all grow together.
It is about bringing Judaism to life.
It is about having a place to call your second home, a place where you feel free to spend time learning and growing.
It is where Jewish education and addiction education have come together, offering an in-depth look at Judaism, spirituality, recovery and the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, and how we can all benefit from that blend.
It is about community, where people can feel safe and comfortable, and not judged by anyone else’s standards.
It is about igniting a passion towards a connection with G-d.
It is about understanding what it means to be a Jew, and what G-d wants from us.
It is about sharing in the good times as well as the difficult times, where we understand that a problem shared becomes half a problem.
It is the Chai Centre Canada.
