Our 360 this week includes an opportunity to replay the conversations from Wednesday's National Summit on Antisemitism. Plus, an op-ed from President and CEO of CIJA Shimon Koffler Fogel on the actions needed to combat antisemitism; a look at the rise in hate crimes in Montreal; how US laws against Israel boycotts could hit Ben & Jerry's following the company's announcement Monday; White House antisemitism monitor to be named in the coming weeks; an introduction to Jlive's new Summer Events page for everything going on in Jewish Montreal; and a recipe for tahini treats—the best way to turn this sesame spread into delicious cookies. Shabbat Shalom!
