Jewish organization calls on Ottawa to increase security at Canada’s synagogues

October 6, 2025

One of the country’s largest Jewish organizations is calling on the federal government to spend millions more on security for Canada’s synagogues, as Israel’s war in Gaza approaches its second anniversary.

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) says rising antisemitism and violent attacks on Jews have forced Jewish communities across Canada to spend more than $40-million in the past year on private security and in fortifying their places of worship.
