Dear friends and allies,

You are invited to a special evening dedicated to learning, empathy, and action.

Join us for a powerful evening as we present a special screening of the documentary October 8 (https://www.october8film.com/synopsis/). This emotional and timely film explores the impact of the October 7 attacks in Israel and examines the root cause of the subsequent increase in antisemitism throughout North America.

Many of us want to help our friends in the Jewish community during this time of normalized antisemitism, but don't know how. This event is designed for you. Following the film, we will host a panel discussion about how friends and allies can support their Jewish neighbors. You will hear clear examples of what antisemitism is and how to address it when you see or hear it.

We hope you will join us for this important community event.
