B'nai B'rith Canada Audit Records Over 6,800 Antisemitic Incidents
B'nai B'rith Canada's annual audit reported over 6,800 antisemitic incidents. Learn how Canadian Christians can respond with care, prayer, and solidarity.
What happened
In its latest annual report, over 6,800 antisemitic incidents were recorded across the country in 2025, according to B'nai B'rith Canada's annual audit. The report documents a sharp rise in harassment, vandalism, and intimidation targeting Jewish institutions, synagogues, and individuals. B'nai B'rith leaders emphasized that while numbers remain unprecedentedly high, the figures reflect real families and communities living under heightened fear and insecurity.
Why it matters
This reality calls Canadian Christians to notice the distress of Jewish neighbours and respond with active support rather than passive silence. Naming the reality soberly allows us to reject alarmism and paralysis, focusing instead on practical care, community solidarity, and prayerful intercession. The church is called to stand firmly against hatred, ensuring our response is anchored in biblical love, ethical responsibility, and a refusal to allow indifference or hostility to take root in our nation.
Scripture
Zechariah 2:8
The prophet reminds us that whoever touches God's people touches the apple of His eye, expressing God's deep, personal concern for their protection and well-being.
Ways to pray
- Pray for the physical safety, peace of mind, and security of Jewish neighbours, families, and institutions across Canada.
- Pray that Canadian churches will overcome silence and indifference, speaking out with courage, humility, and practical care.
- Pray for government leaders, law enforcement, and civic officials to uphold justice, protect vulnerable communities, and confront hatred.
- Pray that our opposition to antisemitism will remain steadfast while never becoming permission for contempt toward Muslims or any other community.
A short prayer
Heavenly Father, You hold Your people as the apple of Your eye. We pray for the safety of our Jewish neighbours in Canada, awaken Your church from silence, give wisdom to civic leaders, and keep our hearts free from hatred or contempt toward anyone. Amen.
Prayer becomes more faithful when it stays connected to real people and real events.
