The Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee (CJPAC) is a Canadian political organization. The organization's current stated goal is to engage Jewish Canadians and their allies in the democratic process.[2] Previously, the organization was specifically pro-Israel as well.[3][4]

It is a successor to the Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy, now called the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA).[5][6] CIJA focuses on advocacy, while CJPAC focuses on political engagement.[2]

CJPAC's programs include a fellowship program for university students[7] and student leadership program for high school students.[8] CJPAC's events include the ACTION party that connects CJPAC members, politicians, and other politically active people.[4]
