By Staff B’ nai Brith Canada
With the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Canada tomorrow, and the upcoming holiday of Purim when large numbers of celebrants attend synagogue and other celebrations in an atmosphere of informality, B’nai Brith Canada urges all Jewish organizations to be vigilant and heighten all security measures.
An upswing in violence against Israelis around the world and ongoing threats against the Jewish community by the Iranian regime has prompted various police divisions to put their forces on increased alert regarding the Jewish community in Canada. We are in close, ongoing contact with security and law enforcement services, and will continue to issue community alerts as approp riate.
B’nai Brith urges persons to report suspicious activity to the local police and to B’nai Brith’s Anti-Hate Hotline, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-892-2264.
