    Telling Our Stories: Jewish Heritage Month

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
    Collingwood-Museum

    Collingwood, ON – In 2018 the federal government introduced the Jewish Heritage Month Act, designating the month of May as a time to recognize the important contributions that Jewish Canadians have made to Canada’s social, economic, political, and cultural fabric. Through the initiative of the Southern Georgian Bay Jewish Community is fortunate to have two Jewish Heritage Month events relaunching the Town of Collingwood ‘Telling our Stories’ initiative. Collectively, these events focus on sharing experiences and contributions of Jewish people in Canada. 

    Visit the Collingwood Museum from June 1 to June 14 and explore the Canadian Jewish Experience, a special exhibit curated as part of the Canada 150 initiative which has travelled across Canada telling the story of the Jewish community’s history.

    The exhibit includes 9 panels, including eight thematic sections exploring, through photos and text, Jewish trailblazers in arts and culture, public service, sports, military, human rights, commerce, and more. To learn more, visit the CJE website.

    On Friday, June 7th Holocaust Survivor Renate Krakauer will speak at the Simcoe Street Theatre at 11:00 a.m. sharing her family’s story to build awareness and understanding of our shared history. To reserve a seat please contact Rashell Feldman at [email protected].

    Jewish Heritage Month was established with an understanding of the importance of building awareness and providing opportunities for education. Education is the key to dismantling discriminatory beliefs and working collectively to eliminate antisemitism. 

    About the South Georgian Bay Jewish Community (SGSBJC)

    In the Southern Georgian Bay region, there are more than 350 Jewish members of our community. Recognizing a growing need, Rashell and Dr. Michael Feldman established the South Georgian Bay Jewish Community to offer additional supports after the events on October 7th and the increase in antisemitism globally. Since unfolding what has been an amazing outpouring of interest, support, and involvement by so many. An executive committee of dedicated volunteers has been formed to develop opportunities to celebrate, connect, and educate. The Town of Collingwood and the Town of Wasaga Beach have recently adopted the IHRA’s definition of antisemitism. To learn more, visit the SGBJC website.
