This week, Federation CJA was so proud to have brought Rudy Rochman to Montreal to help our community continue our fight to combat antisemitism. Along with BJEC, Rudy met with students from Bialik, Herzliah, Maimonides, our Hillel campus leaders, and those involved in our CHAI (CIJA-HILLEL-ADVOCACY-FELLOWSHIP) for both CEGEP and University students. He also met with leaders in the community to share his knowledge and connect with our local Montreal Jewish community members. Rudy had an amazing impact on our Montreal community, and we were so grateful for all the insight he shared.
Rudy is considered a social media influencer with over 300,000 followers and creates educational viral content aimed at shifting the global, ideological, and political conversations regarding the Jewish People and Israel. His work primarily focuses on empowering Jews and allies, uniting sectors of Israeli society, and generating innovative ways to combat antisemitism. Give him a follow: @rudy_israel.
