In
response to the murders of eleven worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the Christian and Muslim
faith communities have come together in Toronto to form a ring of peace around
the Bloor Street United Church (300 Bloor Street West) where the congregants of
City Shul will be worshipping. In February 2017, the Christian and Jewish
communities came together to form a ring of peace around the Islamic
Information and Dawah Centre for their first day of prayers after the murders
in Quebec City on January 27.

It
is expected that hundreds of people will stand peaceful watch from 9:30 a.m. to
10:30 a.m. on both sides of Bloor Street, from Spadina to Huron, and Huron to
Prince Arthur.
The Ring of Peace will conclude at
10:30. All are asked to depart at this time. The Shabbat for Solidarity is for
the members of City Shul - please do not enter the house of worship following
the Ring of Peace.
“The only thing necessary for
the triumph of evil is that good people should do nothing.” – a twenty-first
century paraphrasing of Edmund Burke.
