Two Jewish parents on recent school attacks


Listen Later

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.
