Faith Not Fear: The Tachlis Conference III
K–12. Campus. Media. Action.
Faith Not Fear began with a simple but urgent belief: the Jewish community must respond to this moment with courage, clarity, unity, and action.
The first Tachlis Conference, hosted in October 2025, brought together 15 Jewish organizations to confront the rising challenges facing our community and begin building a more coordinated response.
The second Tachlis Conference, held in June 2026, welcomed more than 613 community members, leaders, advocates, students, parents, allies, and organizations for an evening of truth, strength, and renewed purpose.
Now, Faith Not Fear: The Tachlis Conference III will focus on three of the most urgent fronts for Jewish life in Canada:
K–12 Education
How do we protect Jewish students, support parents, equip educators, and ensure our schools are safe, fair, and accountable?
Campus
How do we defend Jewish and Zionist students, confront intimidation, restore civil discourse, and strengthen Jewish identity and leadership on campus?
Media
How do we challenge misinformation, improve public understanding, hold media institutions accountable, and tell the Jewish story with clarity, courage, and truth?
This will not be a conference of slogans.
It will be a conference of tachlis.
Practical ideas. Clear strategies. Real accountability. Stronger networks. Concrete next steps.
At a time when many Jews feel isolated, exhausted, or unheard, Faith Not Fear is rooted in a different message: we are not powerless, we are not alone, and we are not retreating from public life.
We are organizing.
We are educating.
We are building.
We are standing together — with faith, not fear.
The Tachlis Conference III will bring together parents, students, educators, campus leaders, legal experts, journalists, community advocates, elected officials, and allies to strengthen Jewish life in Canada, protect the next generation, and ensure that truth, safety, and democratic values prevail in our schools, on our campuses, and across our media landscape.
