Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on May 30, 2024

The Young Israel Synagogue and school on Hillsdale in Cte des Neiges-NDG was fired upon about 3 a.m. Tuesday May 28, but police were only called to the scene the afternoon of Wednesday May 29. The shooting comes six months after Yeshiva Gedolah on Deacon, two blocks away from the Young Israel, was fired upon twice. The latest incident also occurred a few days after a Jewish girls school was shot at in Toronto.

Outremont MP Rachel Bendayan stated Wednesday evening, "four shots at a Jewish school in Hillsdale early Tuesday. I spoke with school administration, community leaders and the federal Minister of Public Safety. The police are investigating. This is the third shooting at a Jewish school in [the] Outremont [riding]. This has to stop."

Montreal Mayor Valrie Plante posted, "It is completely unacceptable that a Jewish school is once again targeted. Antisemitism has no place in Montreal. The SPVM is on the scene to investigate and I am confident that they will once again find the guilty person."

Monique Lamarre, a Hillsdale resident, toldThe Suburbanand Rebel News she heard the shots at around 3 a.m. Tuesday.
