Rabbi Robyn Fryer Bodzin calls for a long-overdue apology to Canadian Jews. While past governments have issued apologies for harms done to other communities, Jewish Canadians have yet to receive a full reckoning. Drawing on Maimonides’ four steps of teshuvah, Rabbi Fryer Bodzin emphasized that words alone are insufficient, a true apology must be accompanied by policy, enforcement, and protection. Despite rising anti-Semitism today, she affirmed Jewish resilience, rooted in God, Torah, and communal strength, and urged unity until real change and accountability are achieved.
