This month, Holy Blossom Temple hosted an impactful evening with Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism, Deborah Lyons.
Moderated by Tom Friedland of Holy Blossom Temple's Advocacy Committee, the discussion explored the state of antisemitism in Canada today, how global trends influence Canadian antisemitism, and why addressing it is vital for all Canadians, not just the Jewish community.
Special Envoy Lyons also shared insights into her role, the development of the Canadian Handbook on the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, and how this critical resource supports efforts to identify and combat antisemitism through education and advocacy.
