Our 360 this week includes an opportunity to register for CIJA's Canada-wide Jewish Community Town Hall in preparation for the Government of Canada's Emergency Summit on Antisemitism. Plus, a look at Isaac Herzog sworn in as Israel's 11th President; Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marc Garneau, meets with Israeli senior government; concern over the rise in antisemitism in Montreal and across the country; reflections from a member of Israel's Hatzalah team on the ground in Surfside, Florida; Jewish athletes to watch at the Tokyo Olympics; and a savoury recipe for Jewish-Italian challah roll garlic knots. Shabbat Shalom!
