Thank you @sflecce for ensuring that students across Ontario will learn about the Holocaust and what it has to teach us about countering antisemitism and hate today.

Good afternoon Toronto. We are moving our command vehicle ๐Ÿš“ from 3560 Bathurst to the Sheppard Plaza at Bathurst tomorrow. The south command vehicle at Bathurst south of Glencairn will remain. This move will afford a different sector of the community access to our officers ๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿผ

@TanenbaumCHAT @TPSOperations 4/5 Police currently advise community activities continue with heightened vigilance. Jewish institutions should ensure protocols are followed, including access controls at doors. Voicemail and email should be regularly checked, and any suspicious or threatening messages reported.

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the terror attacks in Mumbai. Chabad emissaries Rabbi Gabi & Rebbetzin Rivky Holtzberg were among the 174 people who were killed. This unspeakable tragedy should never be forgotten. Please take a moment today to remember them.

No one - including community leaders who dedicate themselves to strengthening our society - should ever be targeted for such vicious hate. We are grateful to police and the courts for taking action - and we stand with @LindaFrum and @MichaelMostyn in the wake of these crimes.

Justice has been served! The man who sent violent hate mail to me, and to B'nai Brith Canada CEO @MichaelMostyn , will serve jail time. At a moment when open expressions of Jew-hatred have become routine, I'm grateful Ontario's court has sent a strong message: hate crimes againstโ€ฆ

If you watch one thing today it should be this. โ€œWhatโ€™s harsh is the way Hamas is using people as human shields. Whatโ€™s harsh is taking a couple of hundred hostages + leaving families and anxious, waiting and worrying to figure out where their loved ones are,โ€ NSCโ€™s John Kirby.

As Canadian legal experts have noted, the attempt to charge Israel with genocide at the ICJ is a shameful abuse of the court and total distortion of truth. Yesterday, @CIJAinfo mobilized nearly 10,000 community members to email Canadaโ€™s Minister of Foreign Affairsto share this.

Mark your calendars for May 20, 2019! It's the 50th anniversary of the Walk with Israel and we're partying like it's 1970! This Victoria Day, we're bringing the Walk back up to Bathurst Street in the heart of Jewish Toronto. After the Walk, we're throwing a giant street party! ๐ŸŽ‰
