Three years later, we remember the eight Canadian lives stolen on October 7.

Eight lives. Eight families forever changed. Eight stories that must never be forgotten.

Today, we honour their memories and stand with all those who continue to carry the grief of that day.

May their memories be a blessing. 🕯️

They came to celebrate life. To dance. To be free.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists turned the Nova Music Festival into a massacre.

Young lives were stolen. Families were shattered. Futures were erased.

Three years later, we remember their faces, their names, and the lives they should still be living.

They were not just victims. They were sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, and friends.

May their memories forever be a blessing. 🕯️

October 7, 2023. The world watched in horror.

These were the reactions of journalists as the atrocities unfolded.

Three years later, the pain remains etched in the memory of Jewish communities worldwide.

We remember the victims. We will never forget. 🕯️

Montreal Event Highlights: AI in the ICU and Beyond 📸

On September 25, our Montreal community filled the Gelber Conference Centre for breakfast with Professor Robert Moskovitch of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev's Stein Faculty of Computer and Information Science.

The morning took us inside the ICU, where Professor Moskovitch showed how his team is developing AI that detects the early patterns of emergencies, from falling blood pressure to declining oxygenation, and explains its reasoning the way clinicians do. The questions from the floor were sharp, the conversation at every table was lively, and the energy in the room said it all: our community is invested in the future of medicine.

Thank you to Professor Moskovitch for an inspiring presentation, to our Executive Director in Montreal & Ottawa, Simon Bensimon, and to every supporter who joined us bright and early.

Three years ago, on October 7, a day meant for dancing with our Torah became a day of unimaginable loss. We carry those we lost with us as we dance again.

At a time when antisemitism is too often disguised as anti-Zionism, we remember that the Jewish connection to the Land of Israel is not new. It runs through our Torah, our prayers and thousands of years of Jewish history.

This Simchat Torah, we dance with memory, gratitude and hope. Chag Sameach and Shabbat Shalom. 💙🇮🇱

Tovah Feldshuh, the actress playing Rabbi Noah Roklov’s mom in Nobody Wants This, has never been afraid to speak up. Against antisemitism. For the Jewish people. For Israel.

At a time when Jewish voices are too often challenged, or dismissed, hers comes through as unapologetic.

We all need to listen to this Jewish TV mother. 💙✡️
