Dear Community Members,

Thank you to all those who were part of our screening of the documentary film, Nova, and the panel discussion on Sunday evening at Toronto’s Prosserman JCC.

Your presence and engagement made the evening meaningful.
We were deeply moved to see how our community came together in such a powerful, emotional way.

Although many of the stories and reflections you shared were difficult, they also spoke to the strength, determination and resilience of the Jewish people and the importance of standing together in times of crisis.

Breakfast can be a masterpiece🥞🍓🫐

12/03/2024

While visiting Israel I had the pleasure of having breakfast at a beautiful coffee shop in the heart of Tel Aviv with Adeena Sussman.

Renowned cookbook author Adeena Sussman returns to Toronto to share an inside look at Israel since the tragic events of October 7th.

In conversation with her close friend, Bonnie Stern, Adeena will reveal a bird’s eye view of Israel’s ever-blossoming cuisine, as well as the incredible energy, resilience and creativity everyday Israelis have demonstrated in their food-related efforts to support those affected by 10/7.

With Hanukkah as her North Star, Adeena will show us how Israel continues to emerge from that fateful day, finding light and meaning emerging from disaster. Ultimately, it’s about how food can nurture, heal, and strengthen us as a community during adversity—and the art we can all play in the process.
Inspired by the conversation, appetizers will be offered for you to taste after the program.
The event is… almost sold out.
Looking forward to welcoming you on Thursday, December 12 at the Leah Posluns Theatre:

GIven recent events, French writer Bernard-Henri Lévy’s new book, Israel Alone, is more relevant than ever.

It was great to spend some time with him recently, along with my husband Robert, who had interviewed BHL a few months earlier for an article in The Times of Israel.
