Advocacy @ HBT: The week of April 25, 2025

Advocacy @ HBT: UJA Walk with Israel, A Taste of Israel, the Interfaith Bridge’s Night to Remember, and the Nova Exhibit! 

• Join us for the UJA Walk with Israel! We hope to see you, and all our friends and allies, on Sunday, May 25th.
• Celebrate Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israel Independence Day, with a Taste of Israel!
• The Interfaith Bridge’s Night to Remember is May 14th!
• The Nova Exhibit is open! Join your Holy Blossom community on June 3rd!

The annual UJA Walk with Israel is on May 25th! Last year, nearly 50,000 people walked down Bathurst Street to support the Jewish community, stand with our friends and families in Israel, and proudly reject Jew hatred in Canada. You can join our Holy Blossom Team here! We look forward to seeing you there! 

Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israel Independence Day, is this coming Wednesday, April 30th. Please join us for an incredible feast with Chef Tomer Markvotiz, the owner/chef at Romi’s on St. Clair West. Chef Tomer has used his restaurant as a vehicle for advocacy since October 7th. He’s an incredible example of what it means to be creative in advocating for Israel and against antisemitism.  

The Interfaith Bridge is one of our valued partners, and their “Night to Remember” is May 14th. Join them, and many other interfaith advocacy-based groups, as we continue to motivate our community to stand against antisemitism. Rabbi Splansky, Reverend Byassee, and others will share inspiring words of courage and hope!  

The Nova Exhibit has opened in Toronto! Please make plans to see it and, as always, bring your community with you. It’s not enough for only the Jews to visit this heartbreaking and vital piece of testimony. Our allies and their families need to join us as witnesses. Plan to go on your own, or join Holy Blossom Temple and visit the exhibit as a group on June 3rd.
