Remembrance Shabbat November 9th

Guest Speaker
Israeli/Canadian Iris Weinstein

Direct from Israel!

Iris’ mother and father were murdered at their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7th. Their bodies were taken to Gaza, where Hamas still holds them to this day.
Come hear Iris’ riveting story, and her plea to the Canadian government.

You want to be there.  You need to be there.
Bring your entire family. Tell all your friends.
