The EFC condemns the recent incidents of vandalism that occurred at Ottawa area synagogues. Anti-semitism is a particularly odious expression of hatred and must be denounced broadly.
We express our sadness and concern to the Jewish community in Ottawa and indeed across Canada. Be assured of our prayers and deep regard for our neighbours in the Jewish community.
(Addition: November 22, 2016. Since the initial statement was published, the EFC has learned of other vandalism at an Ottawa mosque and a church, and condemns these acts as well. We pray for all our neighbours, that they may enjoy true religious freedom without fear or oppression.
