Register for Scotch & Cigars

Your attendance at Scotch & Cigars for Israel will support initiatives like our recent Israel program with Montreal's Israeli Consulate and Israel's MFA (Top: at Magen David Adom HQ; Bottom: volunteering with Save A Child's Heart)

Across high school, college, and university campuses throughout Canada, Jewish students and their allies are facing an alarming surge in antisemitism—at levels not seen in decades.

At AVI, we are committed to equipping students from every background with the knowledge, confidence, and courage to confront hatred, stand with Israel, and champion peace, human rights, and a stronger, more united community.

By joining us for an evening of world-class spirits and fine cigars, you’ll be directly supporting our workshops on Jewish identity and indigeneity with Grade 5-8 students, our fellowships with high school students, and our ambassadorship for university students that includes educational experiences through Italy and Israel.

Your participation helps empower the next generation of informed, courageous, and proud student advocates who are prepared to stand up for Am Yisrael and make a meaningful difference.
