Episode description

Over the past few months attacks that hit Jewish schools, community centres and synagogues have shaken Canada’s Jewish community.


For some Jewish-Canadian parents, there is now a question of whether it’s safe to send their children to Jewish schools.


“Right now, it's a bit fraught to be very Jewish out in the broader world,” says Kim Werker, a Jewish-Canadian mother with a 13-year-old son. 


We speak to Werker and another Jewish-Canadian mother about these concerns, how they’ve been coping and how challenging it has been to talk to their children about the war in Gaza and antisemitism in Canada.
