Advocacy @ HBT: What you can do

Advocacy @ HBT: What you can do

The week of September 27, 2024

Support the Jewish Educators and Families Association of Canada (JEFA) and learn about the advocacy that saved Soviet Jewry! 

• The Jewish Educators and Families Association of Canada (JEFA) needs your help with the TDSB and the Ontario College of Teachers. 
• October 28th, Holy Blossom will honour the work of the generation of advocates who mobilized to save Soviet Jewry. Join us! 

JEFA has been one of the loudest and most effective voices advocating for accountability in the TDSB. In regard to the “Grassy Narrows Field Trip,” which became, in part, an anti-Israel protest, they have several action items open to educators, parents, and members of the community. If you would like to make your voice heard, you can learn more and send a letter to the Ontario College of Teachers demanding that they take action.  

The advocacy work we do today is built on the shoulders of giants. On October 28th, Holy Blossom Temple will honour our member, Wendy Eisen, for her incredible efforts to save Soviet Jewry. There will be special appearances from Irwin Cotler, Elaine Harris, and Natan Sharansky. Be inspired and draw strength, so that your own advocacy work can be effective! You can learn more about this incredible evening and register to join us at the link.
