Task Force on Truth & Reconciliation Update
On June 7th, 2021 we were very pleased to host a unique opportunity for Temple Israel and Or Hanashamah members
to learn more about Indigenous issues in the form of a Virtual Kairos Blanket Exercise. This 3.5 hour activity included
15 Temple congregants, Rabbis Mikelberg and Lithwick, and 9 members of Or Hanashamah. The feedback received
indicates that it was a very insightful and enriching experience for those who participated.
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise program is a unique, participatory history lesson - developed in collaboration with Indig-
enous Elders, knowledge keepers and educators - that fosters truth, understanding, respect and reconciliation among
Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples.
For more information, go to:
https://www.kairoscanada.org/what-we-do/indigenous-rights-2/blanket-exercise
A debriefing session for Temple participants as a follow-up to the event was an equally enriching opportunity for reflec-
tion and exploration of ‘next steps’. The meeting generated exciting program ideas explicitly about Jewish- Indigenous
relations that will be at the centre of Task Force programming for the foreseeable future (watch for updates in the
weekly e-bulletin).
In addition to this initiative, we are pleased to report that a new Prayer for Canada that includes Land Acknowl-
edgement is quickly becoming an organic part of our Shabbat Ritual (minhag). Its third paragraph states that: “We
acknowledge that the land on which Temple Israel gathers is situated on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the
Anishinabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial. We are grateful to have the
opportunity to freely worship on this territory, and we ask your blessings upon it, and upon us - and let us say: Amen.”
If you are interested in becoming involved and/or would like more information on the work of the Task Force please
contact Anne Alper alpera@rogers.com or Fran Klodawsky fran_klodawsky@carleton.ca

TEMPLE VISION STATEMENT
Temple Israel is Ottawa’s Reform congregation where Jewish Life Happens --committing ourselves to Kehilah
K’lal Yisrael, and Tikun Olam.
We are a dynamic and welcoming congregation (Kehilah) where varied Jewish experiences offer pathways to
learn and to experience God for all, respecting tradition and creating new celebrations.
We are an active liberal presence in the larger Jewish community (K’lal Yisrael).
We strive through social action to fulfill the Mitzvot of caring for others (Gimilut Chasadim) and repairing the
world (Tikun Olam).
