An Open Letter on the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism

Although anti-Zionist organizations, such as Independent Jewish Voices (IJV), claim to represent a substantial or growing segment Canadian Jews, their positions do not reflect those held by most, and we condemn token organizations misrepresenting themselves as the majority community view.

CIJA and all 12 Canadian Jewish federations, in partnership with other Jewish Canadian organizations, are proud to endorse the recently released Canadian Handbook on the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism. Representing the majority of Canadian Jews, we wholeheartedly endorse the IHRA definition.
