Canada’s national crisis of antisemitism demands immediate action.

combat antisemitism, hatred, extremism, and radicalization.

Honoured to join the Canadian Society for Yad Vashem in recognizing Donatello and Zelmira De Luigi as Righteous Among the Nations for risking their lives to save the Strom family during the Nazi occupation of Rome.
A privilege to stand alongside Yad Vashem Chairman Dani Dayan, the Ambassadors of Italy and Israel to Canada, and the De Luigi family, represented by nephew Emilio DeLuigi.
As a proud Italian Canadian, this recognition holds special meaning. Our Italian and Jewish communities share a history of friendship, solidarity and standing together when it matters most.
The De Luigi family’s actions remind us that solidarity is defined by what we do, not simply what we say.
At a time of rising antisemitism, their example remains as relevant as ever. We honour their legacy by standing unequivocally with our Jewish friends and defending the freedoms and dignity of every Canadian.
Sempre Avanti.
Recently, Ontario’s Solicitor General called for community input on improving the safe use of roadways and safe access to public spaces.
B’nai Brith Canada responded with two recommendations designed to protect public safety while preserving the right to peaceful protest:
➡️ New provincial legislation to address demonstrations that intentionally obstruct roads, highways, intersections, and overpasses or compromise the safe use of public roadways.
➡️ Province-wide protected zones around vulnerable community institutions, including schools, places of worship, community centres, and other essential spaces.
These measures would target obstructive, intimidating, and harassing conduct while preserving the right to peaceful protest and freedom of expression.
No one should have to face such obstructions simply to attend school, visit a place of worship, participate in community life, or travel safely through their community.

@bnaibrithcanada is aware that the door of a Jewish owned restaurant in Montreal was shattered, leaving glass strewn all over the floor. This is the third time in the past 7 days that a Jewish owned business in the city has been the target of vandalism. This is an alarming trend, and all potential motivations, including hate, must be investigated.
B'nai Brith will continue to call for law enforcement across Canada to consider whether hate was a motivating factor whenever a Jewish home or business is targeted
In honour of those who gave their lives for our future, we remember and reflect with gratitude. Lest we forget.
En hommage à ceux et celles qui ont donné leur vie pour notre avenir, nous nous souvenons d’eux avec gratitude et respect. N’oublions jamais.
B'nai Brith is welcoming a strong sentence in the case of a youth offender involved in a gun-for-hire scheme that targeted Canada's Jewish community.
The youth, identified only as J.B., as he was a minor when he perpetrated the offences, helped to carry out shootings targeting the Beth Abraham Yoseph (BAYT) synagogue, in Vaughan, and the Shaarei Shomayim synagogue, in Toronto.
Today, he was sentenced to two years in custody, and one year under community supervision, the maximum sentence available in this case.
This case underscores the severe threats facing Jewish Canadians. Our Government must take a firm and proactive posture against extremism. Although the sentence handed down today conveys a strong message, it is imperative that those orchestrating these attacks on Jewish institutions be identified and held accountable.
Given the escalation in violence targeting Jewish Canadians, we are urging governments at all levels to take the steps which are required to ensure all Jewish communal institutions have access to armed protection, whether it be law enforcement or private security.
@bnaibrithcanada has been made aware of another incident of vandalism targeting a Jewish owned business in Montréal. In this instance a rock was thrown through the window of a restaurant in Côte-St-Luc. We are deeply concerned by the alarming frequency with which Jewish owned businesses are being vandalized in the city. The breaking of a Jewish owned business's window on the eve of the anniversary of #Kristallnacht recalls one of the darkest days in modern Jewish history.
The national crisis of antisemitism plaguing Canadian society necessitates that vandalism targeting Jewish owned businesses is investigated for hate motivation. B'nai Brith will continue to call for law enforcement across Canada to consider hate motivations whenever a Jewish home or business is targeted.
B'nai Brith is in touch with the owners of the establishment and local police. We will share more information as it becomes available
On behalf of B’nai Brith Canada, we wish to thank every member of the Italian Canadian community that signed onto this declaration of support for Jewish Canadians. The Jewish and Italian communities have historically held a very close relationship, and we are extraordinarily grateful to see that bond remains as strong as ever today. We know that we have close friends and allies in Canada and that with their support, we will rise above this surge of hate and violence that is targeting our community.

The night of Nov. 9-10, 1938, the Nazis launched a campaign of terror against German Jews. Today, antisemites chose that anniversary to terrorize Philadelphia’s Jewish community. This blatant act of Jew hatred needs to be universally condemned, and we applaud the many who have.
🕯️ Remembering the past. Educating
for the future.
This Holocaust Education Month, @GerAmbCanada shares a message of remembrance & reflection from Ottawa.
We honour the memory of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and all those persecuted by the Nazi regime. (1/2)
This weekend, Italian Canadian leaders took a public stand against antisemitism and hate with full-page newspaper ads. I'm proud to be one of the signatories. Silence is not an option. Add your name and stand with us: https://t.co/NHW1T8zObJ
