I'm putting this out for any Jews who feel like they don't want to criticize another denomination.
This is bullshit. There is no religious reason to bar suicides from our cemeteries. Not facilitating funerals is your choice, of course, but it's cruel to the living. What's next? Shrimp and tattoos? Meh.
"A landmark letter on #MAID, approved recently by #Toronto’s main #Orthodox #rabbinical council—also called the #VaadHaRabbanim—is sounding the alarm about what the group notes is the increasing prevalence of medically assisted death making “inroads” into the local #Jewish community. Citing the figure of 5,000 patients in #Ontario in 2023 who the council describes as being “#euthanized by medical practitioners”, the leading rabbis said they need to take steps to “curb this disturbing trend”: going forward, they will not officiate at the #funerals of MAID patients and will refuse to permit MAID patients to be buried in plots in their #synagogues’ #cemetery sections."

I hear "big Jew tax" in Larry David's voice in my head.
"Jewish communal #security spending has hit a record high, surpassing $1 billion a year ($1.015b), new data from the #Jewish Federations of North America (#JFNA) revealed ahead of the #HighHolidays.
The new #study finds that the average spend across over 4,500 Jewish communal institutions amounts to roughly $225,000 per institution. This represents a 33% increase compared to the previous estimate of $765 million in 2024. These institutions include Jewish community centers, #synagogues, schools, summer camps, and other Jewish nonprofit institutions.
JFNA's analysis does not include privately owned businesses, such as over 1,600 #kosher restaurants, some 500 kosher markets and groceries, and the #Judaica shops and Jewish bookstores found in Jewish neighborhoods across #NorthAmerica."

The folks who want Jews to leave the MENA are the same who intimidate Jews in the diaspora... 🤔
"So the anti-#Israeli, anti-#Jewish demonstration at the #HeritageFestival last week was a performance aimed squarely at #Edmonton’s local Jewish and Israeli community.
That demonstration and the violent act of physically attacking our tent, the image of our cultural identity, sent a clear message to Edmonton’s 150-year-old Jewish community: “We don’t want #Jews and #Israelis in our city.” By allowing this to happen, you, the Edmonton Heritage Festival Association, have shown that your festival’s mission of “bringing the world together” is a farce.
I moved to Edmonton nine years ago from Israel to serve as #rabbi of one of this city’s #synagogues. My family and I have stayed because we love Edmonton’s diversity: the way it brings people from around the world together to build a kinder, more peaceful, prosperous society.
Do you see Jews and Israelis as part of this city?"
