Many people describe Machzikei as a second home. It's the place where friendships are made and a true community is built. It's the place where people support each other in good times and in times of need. And it's a place where you can experience a variety of programs, classes and events that will enrich your life and the life of your entire family. We invite you to get to know us and see what makes Machzikei Hadas such a special place.
Ottawa has all the essential amenities of Jewish life, such as Jewish education, kosher food and vibrant synagogues, but in a smaller city, that is affordable, accessible and also unified. In Ottawa, all types of Jewish people participate in Jewish life together, a unique and beautiful example of Achdut and Ahavat Yisrael.
