Your Daily Spiel is The CJN’s daily roundup of trending stories in the Jewish world.

This week’s cover story examines, from various perspectives, what Islamaphobia is, and what Canadian Jews’ responses are/should be to it.

A month after they’d been up online, hateful messages against Jews and Israel – including praise for Hezbollah – were discovered and removed from a City of Côte St. Luc website.

Can Jewish parents shep naches from their kids forgoing more stable (and increasingly hard to find) doctor, lawyer and finance jobs for riskier startup ventures?

Palestinian groups petitioned Israel’s High Court of Justice to overturn a controversial new law that retroactively legalizes settler homes built on private Palestinian land.

About 50 ultra-Orthodox demonstrators were arrested yesterday during protests over the arrest and detention of a yeshiva student charged with IDF draft-dodging.

A former Canadian politician reported a swastika carved in the snow near her Manitoba home.

In Israel’s Ramat Gan zoo, a rhinoceros named Rihanna has birthed a baby, called Rami. Reports are that he’s very cute.
