Seeking Conference Feedback

The Social Justice and Human Rights Conference concluded this past Saturday, April 28, after two full days of stimulating keynote lectures, panel discussions and workshop presentations, attended by nearly 150 people overall. 

For everyone who attended the conference, we seek your feedback and input with evaluating the conference, to help us plan for future events.  Please take a few minutes to complete the online Conference Evaluation Questionnaire this week.  The website address for the online questionnaire is listed on the 2nd-last page of the Conference Progam booklet, or email to cprse@icscanada.edu to request the link.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the conference and helped make it a great success!

Advance Registration Closes April 25

Advance registration for the conference has closed as of the end of the day on Wednesday, April 25.  We are delighted that conference registrations have virtually reached our capacity for the total number of attendees that can be accommodated in the conference venue at Emmanuel College. 

For anyone who still wishes to register in person at the conference, we cannot guarantee seating in all the plenary sessions, but we will do our best.  The on-site registration fee is $110 (or $55 for students with valid ID).

Rabbi Michael Stroh Joins Religion and Human Rights panel

We are excited to announce that Rabbi Michael S. Stroh will join the plenary panel "Religion and Human Rights in Canada: Judaism, Christianity and Islam" to take place on Friday morning, April 27. Rabbi Stroh is Rabbi Emeritus at Temple Har Zion in Thornhill, Ontario and is a past President of the Toronto Board of Rabbis. He was a chair of the Reform Round Table of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, which deals with questions concerning the content of Reform Judaism. He teaches regularly at Kolel: The Adult Centre for Liberal Jewish Learning.

Rabbi Stroh replaces Rabbi Roy Tanenbaum who was regrettably unable to continue with his role on this panel due to serious health concerns.
