HON. BOB RAE SPEAKS TO JSPACECANADA ON JUNE 10, 2012 AT THE FIRST NARAYEVER CONGREGATION AT 7 P.M.
We hope you will join us on June 10th for a talk by one of Canada’s most prominent political leaders, Bob Rae.
Mr. Rae will be speaking on the subject of Israel and the future of Canadian policy in the Middle East.
Mr. Rae is currently the interim Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and member of Parliament for the Toronto riding of Toronto Centre.
Mr. Rae brings considerable experience and expertise to this subject. Before taking on the position of interim leader, he served as his party’s foreign affairs critic. Through much of his career he has been deeply involved in foreign affairs, including consulting on Sri Lanka, Sudan and Iraq.
Israel has always been a special interest of his. We are excited to hear Mr. Rae’s views on what’s happening in Israel and the Middle East at this crucial stage.
The talk takes place Sunday, June 10, 2012 at 7 p.m., at the First Narayever Congregation, 187 Brunswick Avenue, in downtown Toronto.
This is the first in a series of events with representatives of the major Canadian political parties.

ENDORSEMENTS OF JSPACECANADA
“I fully support JSpaceCanada, for we are a people with many voices, and each has a right to be heard. If we close our ears to those who critique Israel from love, we disregard and disrespect the views of a large and growing segment of our community, especially among youth, without whose support the Zionist vision cannot survive. Unnerved by anti-Israel propaganda, they are put off by simplistic, pro-Israel rhetoric. JSpaceCanada provides a space for these healthy, forward-looking discussions to take place.”
- Professor Derek Penslar, Samuel Zacks Professor of Jewish History, University of Toronto
“JSpaceCanada fills an important niche in the Canadian Jewish community. Canadian Jews who care deeply about Israel’s security and its existence as a Jewish state, but who are at the same time concerned about some of its policies on West Bank settlements, the peace process, and minority rights, now have a forum to express and promote their views.”
- Rabbi Ed Elkin, First Narayever Congregation, Toronto
