May is designated as Jewish Heritage Month – a time to celebrate the richness of Jewish culture, heritage, and history in Canada.
Canada is home to the fourth largest Jewish community in the world. Jewish Canadian leaders are active in all parts of society and have helped shape the diversity found within it.
Canadian Jewish Heritage Month provides an opportunity to celebrate Jewish communities from coast to coast to coast for their valuable contributions in building a more open, diverse, and more inclusive Canada for all.
Throughout the month of May, various HCDSB schools are participating in workshops hosted by the , which provide meaningful and authentic learning opportunities about the Holocaust.
This month, and every day, we celebrate Jewish heritage and honour the history and courage of Jewish people in Canada, and throughout the world.
