CHES has been on the front lines working with the OCDSB. Over the past year, we have witnessed and experienced an unprecedented and terrifying rise in.

Jewish hate. The fact that it’s happening in our schools cannot be ignored. Jewish children as young as three years old are being harassed, gaslighted, segregated, threatened, and attacked. Everyone has the fundamental right to be safe.

Speakers will include a plethora of high-caliber Jewish leaders including members of parliament, the embassy, and celebrities. Professional facilitators will lead breakout sessions for children and adults of all ages. Learn what antisemitism looks, sounds, and feels like in 2022. Understand what to do and where to go when in need. 

There will be live opportunities to participate, support, and donate and then enjoy delicious kosher food and entertainment while celebrating our Jewish identity.
