After Shabbat, the Montreal delegation has a beautiful Havdallah ceremony in the lobby of the hotel. We sing and dance arm in arm. The lobby is full of warmth, Jewish pride and joy - a stark contrast to the day's story and the rain outside.
We then leave to the national Havdallah ceremony and join the Toronto delegation, the young adult delegation, the adult delegation and the coast to coast delegation. We are over 1000 strong. We honour all the survivors among us as well as the righteous Gentiles. We are exhausted but filled with Jewish pride and hope for the future of the Jewish people.
