The  Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation  recognizes that the most impactful allies of the Jewish people are Christians who value Judaism, stand with Israel and the Jewish people, and denounce antisemitism in all its forms.

Chanukah 2025-Moving Through Darkness to Light CAEF joins with the mourners of Zion, all global Jewry, as we face yet another massacre of innocent people, men, women, children, celebrating a Jewish festival. Where there should be only light, there are shadows, darkness, evil incarnate. The scene at Bondi Beach, Australia on December 14 th , the first day of Chanukah, was beyond shocking. That a family friendly setting could disrupt into bloody chaos is beyond comprehension. 

CAEF sends greetings for Your health, happiness, security, peace of mind. May the Season bring joy and good fortune to Jews everywhere, and an end to hatred, bigotry, libels, ignorance, antizionism, and the isolation of Israel.

Legal Update Ontario Court Declares "Khazar Theory" False and Hateful The "Khazar Theory" is the hypothesis that Ashkenazic Jews are not biologically descended from the ancient Israelite tribes, but are instead the direct descendants of a set Turkic tribes that established a khanate called Khazaria in what is currently Ukraine and the Caucasus region between 650-850 CE, and were converted to Judaism at the time.  The theory is that as the Khazar empire collapsed, a migration
