Herut Canada is gearing up for a significant event that aims to bring together hundreds of people for “A Day of Jewish Pride” motorcycle and car rally in Toronto on June 25.
Scheduled to begin at 11 a.m., the event promises a range of activities, including speakers, a Krav Maga demonstration and class, Israeli music, and food. Earl Bales Park in North York will serve as the starting point for the rally. Recent data has revealed that although Jews make up only 3.4% of Toronto’s population, they are the victims of 26% of the city’s crimes, making events like this all the more important. Interestingly, a newly revamped Holocaust museum also opened in Toronto last week, underscoring the need for ongoing awareness and education.
According to Aaron Hadida, the national director of Herut’s local chapter, antisemitism remains a prevalent issue both in Toronto and around the world. He believes that Jews need to demonstrate their strength and pride, urging them to come out in large numbers. The rally aims to send a powerful message by showcasing a line of cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles, boldly proclaiming that fear will not define their lives. In a gesture of unity, Herut will distribute Israeli flags and T-shirts to further emphasize their pride.
Hadida emphasizes that no one should face discrimination based on their cultural or community background, but he believes that the Jewish community must display more pride, considering the disproportionate hostility they experience. He feels that it should not be acceptable for Jew-bashers to target them simply because the community remains silent. Despite being generally peaceful people, Jews still face a significant amount of antisemitic hate crimes, which are amplified by the extensive media coverage they receive.
The World Jewish Congress reports that approximately 400,000 Jews live in Canada, with the majority residing in Toronto and Montreal, while smaller communities exist in cities like Vancouver, Ottawa, and Winnipeg.
Karma Feinstein-Cohen, executive director of World Herut and its youth wing Magshimey Herut, expresses concerns about the situation in Canada. She highlights the presence of antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and the growing trend of anti-Israel sentiment on Canadian university campuses. Feinstein-Cohen believes it is their responsibility to speak out against all forms of antisemitism, regardless of its origin.

The “Day of Jewish Pride” rally serves as a platform for the Jewish community to come together, show solidarity, and stand up against discrimination. By hosting this event, Herut Canada hopes to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the Jewish community and foster a sense of empowerment.
The rally not only sends a message to antisemitic individuals and groups but also provides an opportunity for Jews to come out, unite, and celebrate their heritage. In a world where hate and discrimination continue to persist, events like the “Day of Jewish Pride” rally remind us of the importance of standing up against antisemitism and promoting tolerance and understanding.
By organizing this rally, Herut Canada aims to create a stronger and more resilient Jewish community while calling for greater awareness and action against all forms of antisemitism in Canada and beyond.
