You are invited to a powerful and deeply meaningful event on Wednesday, April 29, in Toronto for #EndJewHatred Day.

The event will feature the contemporary opera Two Remain, which is based on the testimonies of Holocaust survivors. The production develops emerging Canadian artists and uses music, including a student matinee, to expand Holocaust education, foster empathy, and preserve the voices of survivors.

What is #EndJewHatred Day? It's a non-partisan day of pride, unity, action, and solidarity with the Jewish community. Since 2022, April 29 has been proclaimed as #EndJewHatred Day across several U.S. states and is increasingly being recognized here in Canada. The normalization of Jew-hatred is a dangerous and growing threat, fueled by extremism, and it is our collective responsibility to confront it.

Last year on April 29, it was deeply symbolic that we gathered at the Nova Exhibition, a sacred space preserving the memory of the victims of the Nova Music Festival massacre—an event that tragically reflected the resurgence of antisemitism and extremism in our time.

This year, we are proud to mark #EndJewHatred Day through the universal language of music. It feels especially important right now to focus on what unites Canadians—our shared humanity. Two Remain, presented by Jewish Voices In Music, is a powerful contemporary opera composed by Jake Heggie with a libretto by Gene Scheer. Built directly from the real testimonies of Holocaust survivors, the work draws upon the lived experiences of survivors of Auschwitz and Terezín. Through music and memory, this opera transforms history into immediate human experience, confronting themes of survival, moral courage, responsibility, and remembrance.

As antisemitic incidents reach historic highs in Canada and globally, the need to educate, remember, and stand united against hate is urgent. Jew-hatred is a growing threat to democratic values and social cohesion, weakening society when left unchallenged.

This production will feature emerging Canadian opera artists and include a student matinee to expand Holocaust education through the performing arts. By engaging both heart and mind, music fosters empathy, bridges differences, and ensures survivors' voices are never forgotten.

By gathering together for Two Remain, we affirm that remembrance is an active responsibility. We affirm that confronting antisemitism requires courage, unity, and moral clarity. And we affirm that in a moment when division is amplified, we choose to stand for dignity, humanity, and the shared Canadian values that bind us together.

We invite you to join us in marking #EndJewHatred Day—not only as a commemoration, but as a commitment to building a society where hatred has no home, and where memory inspires meaningful action. Proceeds will go towards supporting advocacy initiatives combating Jew-hatred —Two Remain serves as both an artistic presentation and a meaningful act of cultural responsibility.

The Consequence of Tolerating Jew-Hatred

March 12, 2026

Today, a terrorist attacked Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, as children were attending school inside. A vehicle was rammed into the building. Shots were fired. Explosives were allegedly found in the vehicle.

Let's be clear about what this was: terrorism. Any official who refuses to use that word should be removed from office.

This is not a surprise. This is the inevitable consequence of a country that has spent years tolerating, enabling, and even celebrating Jew-hatred. We watched as organizations targeting Jews were given tax-exempt status, university platforms, and seats at tables of political power. We watched campus administrators negotiate with mobs calling for Jewish genocide. We watched celebrities promote and normalize violence against Jews. We watched the mayor of New York City open the doors of Gracie Mansion to Jew-haters. We watched attack after attack, after attack. Violence in our streets. We watched prosecutors undercharge - or not charge at all - crimes targeting the Jewish community. We heard words, but saw no action on Jew-hatred. And we said: this will have consequences.

Today is the consequence.

No other religious group in America faces this. No other minority community buries its dead and repairs its shattered windows with this regularity, while the country asks them to be patient and accept more police cars outside their schools. More police presence is not a solution. It is crisis management. The barn is on fire. We are done being told to be grateful for the fire hose.

We need accountability. Comprehensive, systemic, and prosecutorial. The organizations that have spent years radicalizing individuals, funding anti-Jewish agitation, and organizing the infrastructure of hate did not pull the trigger today. But they loaded the gun and indoctrinated the shooter. Federal prosecutors must investigate these networks as the criminal conspiracies they are: follow the money, pierce the nonprofit shields, and charge the funders and organizers alongside the perpetrators.

The platforms must go. The funding must be cut. The stage must be denied, whether that stage is a university auditorium, a city hall, or a social media feed with millions of followers.

The Jewish community of America is the most targeted religious minority in this country by every metric the FBI publishes, year after year after year. We have demanded action. We have filed complaints, lobbied legislatures, testified before committees, and marched in the streets. We are still marching.

The failure to protect Jewish civil rights in America is not a passive oversight. It does not come from ignorance. It is a choice. And we need to hold every official, every institution, and every organization accountable for that choice. Before the next school is attacked.
