Jewish group urges government to increase security at Canadian synagogues after Manchester attack

A prominent Canadian Jewish organization is calling on “leaders of all levels” to enhance security at synagogues after a vehicle and knife attack at a U.K. synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs called on Prime Minister Mark Carney to ensure Jewish institutions are protected and that all who “incite and commit violence against Canadians are held accountable.”
