Q. Hashem Bless you Rov. I Have an urgent question. My father that keeps mitzvos in his own way, B”H send me to a Yeshiva to learn. I always honor him as much as possible and I have asked the Rov questions on the past. He much wants me to join him this coming Sunday on the walk With Israel, can I do so?
A. As was expected over 56,000 people marched through Toronto during Sunday’s 56th Annual Walk With Israel event, according to the Toronto Police Service.
The rally, organized by the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, took place on the same day as Israel’s National Security Council warned of an “increased threat from terrorist elements against Israelis and Jews” in Canada, raising the threat level from one to two.
Nevertheless, the UJA Federation’s march went ahead as scheduled.
At 56,000, the turnout was even greater than the estimated number of attendees at the Israel Day event on Fifth Avenue in NYC, making the Toronto rally the largest outside of Israel in 2025.
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that one who is dedicated to the learning of Torah should continue to do so, as his Torah learning is more effective for the future and well being of our nation everywhere.
