TEMPLE SINAI
From Global Conflict to Local Impact — Meet the Media
Flashpoints from Israel to the Streets of Toronto
Tuesday, April 21, at 7:00pm

In a time of global uncertainty and rising local concern, Temple Sinai and the Exigent Foundation invite you to come together for an urgent and thought-provoking evening focused on the intersection of media, Middle East extremism, and its impact on Toronto’s Jewish community.

Hear directly from a powerhouse panel of journalists and influencers as they reveal the direct line between international flashpoints and their implications for Toronto Jewry. This timely discussion will examine how news coverage, social media narratives, and public discourse are impacting the surge of hate-motivated incidents in GTA neighbourhoods, and how we should respond.

Media panelists include:

Brian Lilley, Toronto Sun
Rob Roberts, Editor-in-Chief, National Post
Dave Gordon, National Post
Dean Baxendale, Optimum Publishing International
Melanie Bennet, Juno News
Joe Adam George, MacDonald-Laurier Institute
Corey Hescu, Daisy Group
Terence Shen, independent journalist
Caryma Sa'd, Protest Mania
Ariella Kimmel, Winston Wilmont Group
And more!

Join us to:
Meet the media firsthand — ask them your questions, and make your voice heard
Hear from top Canadian media
Learn about their experiences travelling to Israel with the Exigent Group and how it informs their reporting
