The New York Times has the details.Toronto Synagogue Is Damaged by Gunfire on Night of Jewish Holiday
A Toronto synagogue was damaged by gunfire on Monday night, the beginning of the Jewish holiday Purim, the police said.
Police officers responded to calls of gunfire at Temple Emanu-El in the North York neighborhood just before 11 p.m.
North York is an "administrative district" in Toronto. It apparently used to be independent, but was absorbed in the way cities always gobble up surrounding suburbs.
A Purim celebration had ended about an hour before the attack.
The Canadian government issued some statistics about hate crimes, but could not, or would not, detail how many were antisemitic.
B’nai Brith of Canada Foundation, a civil rights organization, said antisemitism incidents reached records in the country in 2024, with 6,219 reports.
Is anyone surprised?
