May is Canadian Jewish Heritage Month, a time to explore and celebrate Jewish culture, faith, and history, and to honour the enduring contributions of Jewish communities to Canada’s social, political, and economic life.

The month also holds special significance for Jewish communities worldwide, as it often aligns with Shavuot, the Festival of Weeks, which marks the spring harvest and commemorates the giving of the Torah.
