About Zareinu:
Zareinu is a Jewish Day School and Treatment Centre, which provides special education and individualized therapies to children with a wide range of physical and developmental challenges.
We believe that “special” children are valuable members of the community and have the right to receive an adapted education, opportunities for improving life skills, communication strategies, and respect for their individual strengths. We believe the family is an integral part of our efforts and their input is treated with respect. We encourage parental participation in planning individual programs. We believe that every child has potential. We believe in a coordinated, cooperative effort to develop and provide therapies and learning strategies that will improve the quality of life for each child and family.
We strive to battle prejudice and encourage inclusion through opportunities for supported integration whenever possible.
We advocate for acceptance of children with special needs in the community.
Our teachers, therapists and consulting specialists are experts in their respective disciplines. Our team is multifaceted, ensuring that we offer opportunities for children to take their first steps, communicate their first words, share a smile and reach for that important hug.

Moishe Alexander Donates to JACS Toronto
JACS Toronto received a donation of $1,200.00 CDN from Moishe Alexander and Canadian Funding Corporation in 2008.
About JACS:
JACS is a voluntary mutual-help group for Jews in recovery from Alcohol and other chemical abuse. Through JACS, recovering Jews and their families connect with one another, explore their Jewish roots, and discover resources within Judaism to enhance their recovery. Founded in 1979 by a group of less than two dozen, JACS has grown to serve thousands.
JACS supplies links to Jewish belief and tradition that enhance recovery and supplement the work most of our members do in 12 step fellowships. JACS members represent the entire spectrum of Jewish experience, background, affiliation and observance.
“The JACS retreat was a time of real joy and spiritual renewal. The feeling of kinship I now have with other Jews of all kinds, who have experienced our illness and its isolation, is a great blessing.”
JACS, an organization led by volunteers, is dedicated to:
* Encourage and assist Jewish alcoholics, chemically dependent persons and their families, friends and associates to explore recovery in a nurturing Jewish environment by conducting retreats and other events that provide support to Jews in recovery;
* Promote knowledge and understanding of the disease of alcoholism and chemical dependency as it involves the Jewish Community; and
* Act as a resource center and information clearinghouse on the effects of alcoholism and drug dependency on Jewish family life.
JACS is one of the Rita J. Kaplan Jewish Connections Programs of the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services.
