AVI Student Ambassadors receive Certificates of Appreciation at “United We Stand: An Evening with Yoseph Haddad” in Toronto
The second leg of our Canadian tour with Arab-Israeli advocate and journalist Yoseph Haddad continued in Toronto on Thursday, drawing over 600 guests to Toronto's Shaarei Shomayim Synagogue!
On behalf of Allied Voices for Israel (AVI), I would like to thank everyone who attended United We Stand: An Evening with Yoseph Haddad. I would also like to thank the team at Shaarei Shomayim and our title sponsors IsraeliMall.com and Dr. Steven Stein.
In addition to hearing from Yoseph about his advocacy for Israel and important work building partnerships between Arabs and Jews, attendees had the opportunity to celebrate our AVI Allyship Award recipient in Toronto, Pakistani-Canadian journalist, author, public speaker, media consultant, anti-racism activist, and interfaith discussion leader, Raheel Raza.

We also honoured our AVI Student Ambassadors at campuses including Toronto Metropolitan University, University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, OCAD, and York University, as well as High School Ambassadors from high schools across Toronto!
A special shout-out to our talented AVI Student Ambassadors and moderators, Pe'er Krut and Mishel Anisimob. The ladies led such a meaningful and riveting discussion with Yoseph.

Prior to our event in Toronto, AVI brought Yoseph to meet students at Tanenbaum CHAT, the largest Jewish high school in Canada.
Yoseph spoke about his experiences as an Arab living in Israel, his time serving in the IDF, and how to refute the falsehoods surrounding Israel, particularly as an Arab-Israeli.
Yoseph also spoke in Calgary on Saturday, Dec. 7th, and will be speaking in Vancouver on Sunday, Dec. 8th. To purchase tickets, please click here.
