For a number of Jews around the world, one response to October 7 has been a deep desire to come to Israel and to give back. Sharon Fraenkel, executive director of Canadian Friends of Tel Aviv University (CFTAU) for Ottawa, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, is no exception.
In this episode of The Global Connection, Fraenkel is interviewed by Ben Bright – an international MA student at Tel Aviv University (TAU) and a member of the student-led movement @IsraelWarStory. They chat about Jewish life and antisemitism in Montreal after October 7, Fraenkel’s trip to Israel in the wake of the atrocities, and the steps Tel Aviv University has taken since October 7 to help its students, as well as the country, to cope and begin the healing process.
