KlezKanada was founded in 1996 to teach, nurture and present to a broad public the best of Jewish traditional arts and Jewish culture. Its goal is to foster Jewish cultural and artistic creativity worldwide as both an ethnic heritage and a constantly evolving contemporary culture and identity. From its start as a small summer festival, KlezKanada has become one of the leading Jewish cultural organizations in the world.
