Mezuzahs Stolen in Toronto, Police Investigate Hate Crime

Toronto police are investigating the theft of mezuzahs from Jewish homes in North York, marking the second incident this month. On December 25, four mezuzahs were reported stolen from a condo building, while a similar theft involving about 20 mezuzahs occurred earlier in December at a nearby community housing location. Local officials, including Councillor James Pasternak, condemned these acts as manifestations of rising antisemitism, urging unity against hate. B’nai Brith Canada and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs called for urgent action from law enforcement to address this alarming trend.
