Synagogues and Jewish organizations in Canada have received threatening letters.

More than 100 synagogues and Jewish organizations in Canada have been put on high alert after receiving a threatening letter on Wednesday, August 21. The threats targeted a variety of institutions across the country, including synagogues and hospitals, and prompted the mobilization of law enforcement and health care facilities.

Canadian police said the federal National Police Security Program is handling the incident, and local security agencies are taking steps to ensure public spaces are safe. Jewish community leaders stressed that while there was no direct threat, the negative impact of the email remains serious.

The threats come as anti-Semitism in Canada has increased since the Gaza conflict, with a B'nai B'rith report indicating a doubling of anti-Semitic incidents. The prime minister noted the egregious nature of the threats and stressed the importance of investigating and ensuring the safety of the Jewish community.
