Toronto Gala 2025

Toronto:
2025 Award of Merit Gala

Toronto Gala 2025

Our Toronto Gala was a truly special celebration, marking 150 years of impact, service, and unwavering dedication to Canada’s Jewish community.

Special thanks to Shelly Avital, recipient of the 2025 Award of Merit, for her inspiring leadership and dedication to our community, and to Ben Mulroney, B’nai Brith Canada Ambassador, for moderating with his signature warmth and expertise.

We were honoured to welcome Noa Tishby, Israel’s former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and Delegitimization, for a powerful and deeply engaging fireside chat. It was also a privilege to present her with the first-ever Michael Mostyn Human Rights Award, honouring the remarkable legacy of late B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn z”l, whose vision and courage continue to guide us.
