"For me, the most important thing is that people should ask the question as early as possible in life as they can: 'What can I do to make this world a better place?'. So that when you leave this world, looking back, you say 'it's a little bit better off because I was here.' "

- Rabbi Bulka

Rabbi Dr. Reuven P. Bulka (1944-2021), affectionately known as "Canada's Rabbi", was a beloved spiritual leader and community activist in Ottawa for over 50 years. Rabbi Bulka dedicated his life to spreading kindness, helping people, making a difference, comforting others, and always saying the right thing at the right time to make someone feel better.
