Temple B’nai Tikvah joins Jews throughout the world in wishing Israel a joyous 77th birthday. We send Israel and its citizens our wishes for peace, safety and happiness as it celebrates the anniversary of its birth. May the Maker of peace in the heavens make peace for Israel. May nation not lift up sword against nation, nor learn war anymore. Chag Sameach!
Premier Danielle Smith issued the following statement to commemorate Yom HaShoah:
“On Yom HaShoah, a day of remembrance and introspection, we vow to never forget the victims of the Holocaust. More than six million Jewish men, women and children were imprisoned, tortured and murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.”
“In the years following the Second World War, the world committed to ‘Never Again’ stand by without fighting against such heinous atrocities. Never again would evil be permitted to go unchecked, and never again would the Jewish people be left alone to struggle against antisemitism.
“There is no room for hatred in Alberta and Alberta’s government will always condemn terrorism and hate. Together, we will stand against antisemitism, stand with the Jewish people, and stand for the province we love. I invite all Albertans to act in solidarity with the Jewish community and commemorate Yom HaShoah.
“Never Again.”
