In the wake of the horrific premeditated murder of four members of a Muslim family in London, Ontario, we wanted to express our shock and sorrow at this senseless loss of innocent life.
We pray for the recovery of the one surviving member, and hope for healing for members of London’s Muslim community.
May this tragedy strengthen our resolve to stand up against all forms of racism and discrimination, whether the targets are Muslims, First Nations, members of our own Jewish community, or any other marginalized minority or group in our society.
Please see links below for the reactions of several national Jewish organizations along with those of London’s Jewish community to this event:
