PICTON - Members of what is presently the best-known congregation on Earth gathered here last night, to celebrate the annual Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot. And, for once, they got some good news. Belleville Police Const. Jeff Smith - one of two officers who had risked his own life to save 25 Jewish congregants during a terror attack at Sons of Jacob synagogue on Sept. 20 - was up and about in his hospital room, we were told. He was recovering from his gunshot wounds, and

Last night, E. and I were at Queen's University in Kingston for a terrific event hosted by the Jewish Law Students' Association, with support from B'nai Brith, the Network of Engaged Canadian Academics and the broader Kingston Jewish community.

Around the same time, we heard there was a “Jew list” circulating in Prince Edward County, and her business - a coffee shop and bakery - was

CBC has pulled a veteran journalist off-air - and hit him with disciplinary action - simply because he filmed a protest taking place outside a Jewish religious service earlier this week. Neil Herland is an award-winning senior CBC journalist and producer with three decades’ of experience reporting news across North America. He is also a Jew. A few days ago, CBC management quietly pulled Herland off the air - because he had documented a newsworthy event. One they apparently d

Things were running a bit late. When the shooting started, when the bullets were hitting the beautiful old stained glass windows on one side of the Sons of Jacob synagogue, the people - about two dozen of them - were already inside. The congregants were just outside the sanctuary, getting ready to go in for Yom Kippur services. Fatefully, they weren’t in the sanctuary yet. Things had been running a bit late. Had that not been so, Rabbi Oded Peles said, a bullet would have hit
