CIJA event: At this Critical Moment, Gather with Community – Oct. 12

by Noah Shack

(CIJA) – The Israeli cabinet just approved the first phase of the U.S.-led peace initiative — paving the way for the release of every Israeli hostage taken on October 7.

In the coming days, our community will join our brothers and sisters in Israel on an emotional roller coaster as we await confirmation of families reunited with their loved ones — both those who return alive, and those will be returned to their final resting place in Israel. We are all hopeful that this marks the beginning of a path toward healing for the victims and safety for the region. But we are not naïve; we remember how Hamas has cynically manipulated previous agreements.

As our community has come together time and again across Canada over the last two years, I invite you to join us for a special online gathering on:

Sunday, October 12 at 12:00 PM EST
RSVP HERE

Together with some of the Canadians families of those who were murdered or taken hostage, we will mark this critical moment as one united community.

Please RSVP and invite your friends and family to join.

Shabbat Shalom.
