    JANUARY 29, 2017 - IMMEDIATE RELEASE MULTI-FAITH CLERGY PRESS CONFERENCE SUNDAY, JANUARY 29, 2017 AT 9:30 AM AT JACK POOLE PLAZA 1085 Canada Place Vancouver, BC (in front of 2010 Olympic Flame) CLERGY ACROSS CANADA CALL ON PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU AND CANADIAN GOVERNMENT TO IMMEDIATELY EXTEND TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISAS OR PERMITS FOR CANADA FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE AMERICAN VISAS IN HAND, AND WHO ARE STRANDED AT AMERICAN PORTS OF ENTRY ONLY BECAUSE OF THE US PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDER ON REFUGEES AND IMMIGRATION Concerned Canadian Clergy for Refugees call upon the Canadian Government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to immediately extend temporary resident visas or permits for individuals who have American visas in hand, passed American security clearance, and who are stranded at American ports of entry only. Canada should favourably consider temporary resident visas or permits to Canada for individuals within this group who have been recognized as refugees by the United States, these individuals, who have passed American security and background checks, should be allowed entry to Canada. Canada and the USA have agreed to protect refugees. Given that these security-screened refugees would have been able to disembark their flight for new lives in the USA, and are not considered security risks, Canada should help and help them now. A small number of cases are affected. We are reminded of our nation's history when 'none is too many' was our response to Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. Since those dark days following World War II, Canada has made great strides to be a beacon of hope to refugees seeking safety from around the world.

  • We're Still Celebrating!
    We're Still Celebrating! Over the past few months, there have been many articles written about how people around the world have experienced an enormous sense of loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As we put this issue of the Herzlia Headlines together I can't help but feel this too. We were all looking so forward to 2020. A year ago, we commenced preparations and plans for our 80th birthday celebrations. What a programme we had. We started with the Kolhakolot Carnival, which was really the old fashioned Herzlia fete,but on steroids. Less than two weeks later we shut the schools down. The long weekend in August was going to be the primary focus for the remainder of our celebrations with Shabbat services and brochas in all our shuls, school parties where we would have invited alumni, past teachers and parents, alumni reunions at our schools, talks and debates, old boys sports matches and the highlight: Feel the Beat at the CTICC. Due to our 'New Normal', we have had to re-look what we are doing and how we are doing it. It is important that everyone is part of our celebrations. Feel the Beat is going ahead, but in a different format. We will be using the technology available to us to produce a musical Herzlia journey. Because it will not be a live performance it has allowed us to feature our overseas alumni together with our pupils. So SAVET HE DATE! On Sunday 25 October 2020 we will be showcasing Celebrating 80 -The Musical Movie.
