Some days you can’t love social media enough. This is one of those days. It began like this. Someone stole 12 tons of KitKats.
And then the replies started coming in. Scroll down.
Here is a list which is far from exhaustive of shootings, fire bombings, and vandalism of Jewish schools and of synagogues in Canada.
It is a portrait of hate in Canada painted with fire and bullets.

You Can Help Save Daphne's Life
A beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and wife in our community is fighting for her life.
You could be the person who helps her win that fight.
Her name is Daphne. She has a rare form of blood cancer, and her doctors have given her two years to live. Her only chance is a stem cell transplant from a perfect match, but a global search turned up no results.
At that moment, Daphne’s family learned a devastating truth: her lifesaving match hadn’t joined the registry yet.
That’s why Daphne’s son, A.J., turned to B’nai Brith Canada. He knew he could rely on our community: people who show up for each other, spread the word, and take action when it matters most.
Today, we’re asking you to do just that.
Join us in support of Daphne and her family at the
