Dear Congregants,

As many of you may already be aware, today, August 21st, we received a bomb threat via email, which was also sent to 125 Jewish organizations across Canada.

Upon receiving the threat, we immediately took the necessary steps to contact the Winnipeg Police Services (WPS) to ensure the safety of our congregants and staff.

Please rest assured that Congregation Shaarey Zedek has robust security protocols in place, and we acted promptly and effectively in response to this threat. We have been in close communication with community security professionals and the WPS, who have been onsite to meet with us and provide their full support.

The intent behind this email was to create disruption and spread fear. However, we stand united and resolute in our mission to provide a safe and secure environment for all our in-person services, programs, and events.

As a congregation, we will continue to stand strong and thrive together.

AM ISRAEL CHAI

“If there is anxiety in a man’s mind, let him quash and transform it into joy with encouragement.” (Proverbs 12:25)

Respectfully,

Rabbi Anibal Mass, Spiritual Leader
