Shabbat Zachor

This week is Shabbat Zachor, and there is a biblical commandment to hear the Torah reading this week. Therefore, we will have a second laining during kiddush for those who missed it.
 

Purim Seudah & Magic Show!

Please join us for our Purim Seudah, this Thursday at 5 pm. There will also be an afternoon Megillah reading beforehand at 3:45 pm. At the Seudah, a really amazing magician, mentalist and entertainer named Durgy Spade will perform for the kids (and the young at heart). We might also have other fun things involving candy and face painting, so please come and enjoy.
 

Take Action to Help Make Our Community Safer

Every year, Canadian synagogues, day schools, and JCCs collectively spend millions on security, including hiring paid-duty police officers during the holidays. According to Statistics Canada, the Jewish community is the most frequently targeted religious minority when it comes to hate crimes. While the federal government’s Security Infrastructure Program (SIP) provides vital support to help with the costs of physical security infrastructure, it does not fund security guards and training.  

This is why CIJA is urging the provinces to provide security funding to community institutions beginning with the Ontario Government in its upcoming budget. CIJA is asking the province to consider funding for training staff and volunteers in security procedures as well as funding to cover 50% of the costs of hiring paid-duty police officers to protect institutions at key times – such as synagogues during the High Holidays or special events.

Please fill out this petition to take action and make our community safer.
