Our Book Break — Spring Edition Read

Jonathan Wilson's The Red Balcony

IN-PERSON

Join us on Wednesday, May 8 at 7.00 p.m. for the spring edition of our Book Break series – A Renaissance Initiative. In conversation with author, Jonathan Wilson, we’ll discuss “The Red Balcony”, an extraordinary, character driven, flat-out page turner.  Based on actual events, immerse yourself in a legal drama mixing intrigue, romance and the 1930s realpolitik, in the tinder box of British Mandatory Palestine.

Wilson will join us to answer questions on his meticulously investigated, fictional novel!

Brought to you by the Lewis David Katzman Fund at Temple Sinai and Jewish Book Council.

Sinai Cinema’s Inaugural Event

Sinai Cinema April 13 2024

FCAS Commercial ft. Rabbi Dolgin

National Post logo

Following the online release of the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism‘s (FCAS) commercial and preceding its broadcast during the 96th Academy Awards, Rabbi Michael Dolgin wrote an opinion piece for the National Post.

“The very notion that any places of worship in Canada require active, high-level security should be deeply troubling. Yet for Jews and Muslims and other minority communities, it is already normalized. We work with police personnel on our procedures should an armed intruder be in our sanctuary, our preschool, or our gathering spaces.

With this established reality in mind, in the last five months, the experience of being a Jew and a rabbi in Toronto has changed dramatically.”
