This Chanukah, Pierre Poilievre invited Rabbi Saul Emanuel of the Jewish Community Council of Montreal (JCC) to his Chanukah event at Stornaway, along with other Jewish leaders across Canada, including the leaders of Bnei Brith, CIJA, and several others.

Rabbi Chaim Boyarsky of Chabad lit the menorah.

Pierre Poilievre shared his experiences visiting Israel and the Jewish communities of Canada, including a memorable visit to the JCC.

Rabbi Emanuel conversed with Senator Leo Housakos, whom he knows well, thanking him for all he has done for the community and inviting him to visit the JCC again.

He spoke to another MP, Senator Melissa Lantsman, who is Jewish and keeps a kosher home. He invited MP Lantsman to visit the JCC as well.

These events help our elected officials understand the needs of our community and help us build stronger relationships with our government leaders.
