A Chanukah party in Toronto was hosted at Ohalei Yoseph Yitzchak Cong and was honored by Councillor James Pasternak in the Govt. and MPP Roman Baber, who are both proud Jews and one of the few Jews in government.
3 Jewish Russians who participate in the Shul’s Minyan every Shabbat were in attendance as well.
“They were emotional, remembering Communist Russia, how it was once dangerous for them to light a Chanuka Menora in public!” said Shul Rabbi Yirmi Cohen.
It was a day of Jewish pride for the over 140 Jews who came to our Party, to rejoice as Jews.
