A wave of antisemitic incidents across Canada is raising alarm within the country’s Jewish community, as tensions linked to conflict in the Middle East continue to drive a surge in vandalism, harassment, and violence targeting Jews and Israelis.

In one of the latest antisemitic incidents, a kosher restaurant and a neighboring business in Montreal, the largest city in the province of Quebec, were vandalized on Wednesday, with antisemitic graffiti and swastikas spray-painted across their walls.

Before the Iranian revolution of 1979 it is estimated that there were 80,000 Jews living in the country. Today it is believed that less than 25,000 remain. Each Jew who left Iran carried a story that could be told here.

The holiday of Purim is a time when Jews traditionally congregate to read Megillat Esther, a story filled with intrigue, emotions, violence, and more. And yet, while a holiday like Passover has the incredible films “The Ten Commandments” and “The Prince of Egypt,” Purim has no such movie.

Until someone makes an ageless classic worthy of turning on every Purim, we need to find something to watch.

Imagine a wave of Jewish art, music, writing, and creativity flooding the internet, defined not by conflict or defensiveness, but by culture, joy, and identity. That is the Jewish Renaissance I want to see, and what I truly believe is possible.

But right now, something is quietly working against it behind the scenes. A broken algorithm and a culture of reactive engagement is pushing Jewish creators out of our own spaces. And a lot of us don’t even realize it’s happening.

Here’s what I learned, and what every Jewish creator needs to know.

Same thing we do every night, try to make a delightful place for Jews to be themselves online.
