MONTREAL — Federation CJA has launched jQmtl.com, a website it describes as a “one-stop shop for all your Jewish learning needs.”

Using the slogan “Raise your Jewish quotient,” the site is intended to be a centralized location for publicizing Jewish educational programming in the Montreal Jewish community – free of charge.

It’s open to all organizations, whether affiliated with the federation or not, and the education offered may be formal or informal. The site’s creators subscribe to a broad definition of Jewish learning and see it as a lifelong process.

jQmtl.com, part of the federation’s Jewish Learning Initiative (JLI), seeks to reach Jews of all backgrounds, including those who define their Jewish identity in non-traditional terms.

It is hoped this project will also encourage the development of high-quality programming, and networking among those who provide it.

The learning may be about Judaism or Jewish history, Jewish arts and culture, Jewish languages, community leadership, or values and identity, for example.

While the terms are flexible, to be eligible for inclusion, the programs listed must meet three basic criteria: be curriculum-based, be “infused with Jewish content” and take place on an ongoing basis, even if only annually.

The site offers the feature “Ask Libby” for answers by email or phone to questions from those who can’t find what they are looking for, need help posting information, or want to start a program but don’t know where to begin.

Postings may be searched by age group t
