A prominent Ottawa rabbi is calling on hate crime victims to speak out after he himself was the recipient of a threatening anti-Jewish phone call late last week.
“The Jewish community has been the most targeted faith community in Canada for a very long time … and it’s skyrocketed since Oct. 7,” Rabbi Idan Scher said in a televised interview with CBC, referencing the date that Hamas first attacked Israel.
