Dear Friend,

Just like a hibernating bear waking up from its long winter slumber, it’s time to come out and enjoy spring time at Shaarei Shomayim’s 27th Annual Cavalcade of Stars event in support of JEWS FOR JUDAISM… a trailblazer in global Jewish outreach.

Your support helps JEWS FOR JUDAISM to counter threats to Jewish survival, such as missionaries, cults, eastern religions, Jewish apathy and ignorance, anti-Israel BDS propaganda and assimilation… and to strengthen, preserve and defend Jewish identity through worldwide Internet educational programming and one-on-one counselling services that connect Jews to the spiritual depth, beauty and wisdom of Judaism.

“I am so grateful to have discovered the wonderful Jews for Judaism YouTube lectures by Rabbi Skobac. I am a Jew who converted to Christianity in college, but now, thanks to your online outreach, I have returned to Judaism. Thank you.” – Rebecca G.

In a nutshell, JEWS FOR JUDAISM saves Jewish lives and keeps Jews Jewish, thanks to your support.

To attend this year’s “Cavalcade of Stars” event you won’t need any tickets. Just click this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avdPTiF7MgI anytime after 7:00 PM on Sunday March 21, 2021.

Don’t miss this exciting “Retrospective of Jewish Music”. It promises to be a marvelous evening, especially because we are honouring a very important member of the Shaarei Shomayim Congregation community.

Our Shul is a big part of life for Honouree Dr. Louis Vandersluis, his wife Risa and family. As our Gabbai, he selflessly reaches out to Shaarei Shomayim members. He truly enjoys working with the Shul’s clergy, Executive, volunteers and office staff and serves in various leadership roles. He cares and it shows.

Thanks to the tremendous support of donors like you, the Entertainment and Cultural Committee of Shaarei Shomayim Congregation is proud to say this year’s campaign in support of JEWS FOR JUDAISM is on the road to becoming a fabulous success!

A special thanks go to all the entertainers, too numerous to mention here in this letter, who helped make this event possible. Using rare video footage, this ‘virtual’ concert will feature almost all of the amazing performers from the last 27 years. To see a complete list of the entertainers’ names, please go to page 6 in the Cavalcade journal at www.jewsforjudaism.ca/cavalcade27-journal.

We would also like to thank our esteemed Honouree, Dr. Louis Vandersluis, Master of Ceremonies Hyim Bessin, Rabbi Chaim Strauchler and Rabbi Michael Skobac for their vital participation in this program, for Alex Katz for 21-years of painstakingly video- recording almost every concert from the year 2000 to 2020… and especially Shaarei Shomayim Congregation for hosting this event for the last 27 years. Thank you.

An archive of 21 Cavalcade videos, from 2000 to 2020, featuring shul members in the audience, from as far back as 21 years ago, has been compiled and is now available at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEvpUh6qHhhaCBfB4UFT-ou8Z8DgDIxE1.

Please come and enjoy this event, on Sunday, March 21, 2021 at 7:00 PM. No need to get all dressed up or to worry about parking. Just relax at home with a cup of tea and log on at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avdPTiF7MgI.
