News summary

Over 100 synagogues and Jewish organizations across Canada received a threatening email on August 21, prompting heightened security measures and investigations by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The email threatened death and physical harm, aiming to instill fear within the Jewish community, which has faced a significant increase in antisemitism since the October 7 Hamas attacks. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the threats as 'blatant antisemitism', while local leaders emphasized the ongoing rise in hate against Jewish institutions. Despite no immediate physical threat being identified, security protocols are tightening, with some organizations reportedly spending substantial amounts on safety measures. The RCMP are collaborating with local law enforcement to ensure the safety of affected institutions and investigate the source of the threats. Overall, Jewish community leaders express resilience in the face of escalating hostility, asserting their determination not to be intimidated.
