SUMMARY:Pickleball at Beth Torah
DESCRIPTION:Pickleball at Beth Torah\nSunday\, April 14th @ 10:00 a.m. \nWHERE: La Liga Toronto Sports Complex \nADDRESS: 1107 Finch Ave W\, North York\, ON M3J 2P7 \nARE YOU LOOKING FOR A FUN SPORT TO PLAY?\nPickleball is the fastest-growing sport in Ontario. It is a combination of tennis\, badminton and table tennis. The game is played on a badminton-size court with a whiffle ball\, about the size of a tennis ball\, a solid smooth surface\, and a short-handled paddle larger than a ping pong paddle. The game is easy to learn. Pickleball is a great way to get active\, keep active\, and have fun at the same time. It has great aerobics value. \n If you have never played the game\, the Beth Torah Pickleball Program can get you started with lessons. For more experienced people\, Beth Torah welcomes you to meet other pickleball enthusiasts to play with. \n1) Bring your energy\, enthusiasm\, and a paddle if you are intermediate or advanced. Beginners will be supplied with a learning paddle during games and instruction. Balls will be supplied for all levels. \n2) Committed signup\, meaning a non-refundable fee of $20. If you can not come\, you may substitute a player of an equal playing level to maintain an adequate number of players per court. Non-members are welcome at $25 for the 2 hours. \n  \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Rally to Stand with Students
DESCRIPTION:On May 5\, Canadian Women Against Antisemitism (CWAA) will host a rally in support of students across Canada. No doubt\, looking around the world today\, you have noticed that university campuses are hotspots for flaring tensions around Israel and Gaza and eruptions of antisemitism. \nAs temperatures rise\, and campus occupations in support of Gaza\, it has become increasingly important for the Jewish community to support students who feel pressured\, attacked\, and targeted by their faculty and fellow students. \nIt is important to show up and support the next generation of our Jewish community\, especially those courageous young people who will put themselves at risk by telling us about their lived experiences on university campuses\, here in Canada\, today. \nOur allies at Hillel of Ontario are working with CWAA to make sure that this rally is safe\, productive\, and reflects the breadth of experiences across Canadian campuses. \nThe location of the rally will be announced closer to the date. \nRegistration is required to receive further information. \nRegister
