Ma Koreh is a digital newsletter focusing on Jewish communities in smaller cities across Canada.

 

Translated to English, 'ma koreh' means 'what's happening?' And we mean it when we ask the question. Ma Koreh articles focus on formal and informal community programs that strengthen Jewish identity and community in your hometown. Please tell us what's going on in you community. All suggestions, story ideas and contributions are welcome. Email us at info@jfcuia.org with suggestions and we'll be in touch.

  • Dr. Mark Siegel

    Chair, RJCO, Regional Community Forum
    I am especially proud to be a Jew in Canada today. Just over a year ago, the mosque in Peterborough was firebombed. The local Jewish community responded immediately by not only denouncing the hateful and destructive action but also by welcoming the Muslim community into the local synagogue for services until their place of worship was repaired and habitable.
