B'nai Brith Canada

Today (Monday) marks the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass,” when violent pogroms devastated Jewish communities across Germany and Austria.

Synagogues were burned, homes and businesses destroyed, and countless lives shattered.
As antisemitism continues to rise globally, remembering this dark chapter is more vital than ever.

The Nazis sought to erase Jewish life, but they failed. Jewish communities endure, Jewish identity remains strong, and we will never allow the lessons of history to be forgotten.

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.

You may not have heard much about Masar Badil. That needs to change. Here's why Canadians should be paying attention.

Wishing everyone who celebrates a joyful and radiant Diwali!
May the Festival of Lights bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to you and your loved ones.
