AVI is proud to partner with our friends at Hillel Ontario, The Lawfare Project, EndJewHatred, StandWithUs Canada, CUJS, and Lawyers Combating Antisemitism on a critical Student Advocacy Workshop for high school, college, and university students.

The event is taking place in Toronto this Sunday on Nov. 10th at 11am.

Our McGill Student Ally Raihaana Adira created a super informative post defining what Zionism is and isn't. “Zionism is not about superiority or exclusion,” writes Raihaana. She did an excellent job clearing up any false assumptions and associations with this important historical and social movement.

Meet #AmbassadorSpotlight Pe’er, one of our incredible Common Ground Ambassadors, who is currently studying Law at the University of Toronto.⁠

“I joined AVI to bolster my advocacy skills, and meet likeminded people from different backgrounds—both educational and cultural. I never expected to not only learn a great deal about Judaism, but further cultivate lifelong friendships based on a shared understanding of the importance of allyship,” writes Pe'er. ⁠

“Many Canadian Jews, whether we like to admit it or not, live in a cultural bubble—we interact with the same people, who went to the same schools every day. AVI challenged this worldview, and my time in Rome exposed me to a Jewish community I never knew existed; one that flourished due to allyship and mutual understanding.”⁠
