On Thursday, November 28, 2024, the Toronto Interfaith Summit on Antisemitism and Hate was held at Toronto City Hall, hosted by Councillors James Pasternak, Mike Colle, and Brad Bradford, alongside community leaders and allies.
Antisemitism in Toronto has become a globally recognized concern, underscoring the urgency of this gathering. This summit was an interfaith effort to prevent the escalation of hate-fueled violence against the Jewish community, as seen in events like the recent Montreal riot and Amsterdam pogrom. By addressing these issues head-on, the aim is to foster dialogue, actionable solutions from city council, and build solidarity for a safer, more inclusive Toronto.
The summit featured impactful voices from diverse faith communities, public officials, and advocates united against rising antisemitism and hate.
Here are some selected speakers, followed by the full video of the event.
