It has never been more important, as a global Jewish community, to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We are grateful to the hundreds of people who joined us at the National Holocaust Monument in #Ottawa for the annual #IHRD commemoration to hear from

Day 121. At least 132 hostages still experiencing Hell on earth. In the words of Rachel Goldberg, a mom of a hostage - "Why are you letting them stay in the dark, in their trauma, buried in the earth's crust. Why is it that their live actually don't matter?"

These conversations are so important. More Canadians need to be aware of the hate that is being spewed all over our country. No one should feel comfortable living in a society where hate is allowed to go unchecked.

Contents of the motion for “peace & Justice”: all you need to do is murder, torture, & rape as many innocent people as you possibly can (Hamas, oct 7) & Canada will reward you with your own state…. then you get to do it again & again, this time knowing that Canada has your back.

The population of World Jewry today (~15.7 Million) is still lower than it was in 1939 (~16.6 Million). Its not just the 6 million lives snatched away by evil, its their children, and their children's children. 85 years later we are still rebuilding We will never stop rebuilding

We weren’t sure how we would celebrate Israel’s independence this year. How would snap out of what feels like seven months of the pain of Israel’s Remembrance Day… then the girls of our community took the stage… with pride and with joy, the next generation! Am Yisrael Chai!

An invitation to schools in or around Ottawa: We’re concerned about rising hate, most significantly Jew hatred. We invite you to bring your students 2 learn about their Jewish neighbours in our synagogue w/ me - a concrete step towards combatting hate. 2 recent visits in photos

As the Jewish Rep to the Canadian Army & chaplaincy, I joined reps from many spiritual traditions in Canada at #CFBBorden 2 discuss & action how to best support our troops, inclusion, & effectively combating any form of hatred and discrimination in its ranks. A tremendous honour!

It was a huge honour to have an Ottawa Police team at our tournament this year. We are so grateful to all of you today and everyday. And I second Matthew Cox’s comments, it’s why we started Hockey Against Hate!!

This broke my heart. Today, families of hostages with a very powerful loudspeaker yelled out to their loved ones held in Gaza with the hope they could hear them and be their voice. Bring. Them. HOME. 🎗️ Video: Avi Ron, Adar Eyal, Moshe Tayar Edit: Ram Shemi
