This past Saturday, over Shabbat, JNF Canada learned that its charitable status had been revoked despite court proceedings currently underway.

We had appealed while at the same time striving to reach an agreement with the CRA on a constructive path forward, while our overtures to have a dialogue in order to negotiate were consistently rebuffed.

In the coming days, we will ask for an application for judicial review until our case is heard on its merits.

We need your help now more than ever. Please send a message to Ottawa using the link below.

Join us in speaking up.

Goals and Objectives:

• Impart the history of Hitler’s Germany in which physicians, medical societies and the scientific community were complicit in planning and executing genocidal programs. Instead of serving as healers, doctors acted as murderers.
• Provide current students with a “moral compass for navigating the future of medical practice and inherent ethical challenges, such as prejudice, assisted reproduction, resource allocation, obtaining valid informed consent, end of life care, and challenges of genomics and technology expansion.” (Reis, Wald, & Weindling, 2019, IJHPR)
• “By including the Holocaust in the curriculum of health professionals, medicine could do much to vanquish the evil that is antisemitism.” (R.H.)

Review

“Song of Names” shows the comfort that community can lend at moments when darkness and despair loom large. An engaging story, the characters demonstrate that despite difference, we can form unbreakable bonds that lift us when we need them most. During today’s climate of rising hate, “Song of Names” reminds us of the power of human connection during turbulent times.

— Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of ADL (Anti-Defamation League)

“This powerful timely film has caused me to rethink and revisit the blind, mindless, irrational horrors of bigotry and Jew hatred. Through a moving story of a strong and enduring friendship, we learn to understand the consequences of ignoring evolving and growing antisemitism. The lessons for today are that the unbridled hatred against Jews that is emerging from the political left and right must be condemned immediately, unequivocally and relentlessly or it will metastasize and destroy. This compelling story with a backdrop of haunting and beautiful and transformative music will fulfill ones emotional, intellectual and aesthetic senses. You will leave the theatre a better and wiser and more compassionate person with a robust need to take a more active role in the world. Run don’t walk to go see this film. It will change you for good.”
