Boisbriand – Four people broke into the synagogue in Kirya Tosh Monday night, a community north of Laval.

The assailants broke a window to steal $10,000 worth of religious artefacts including a handmade, imported tefillin, worn during prayers, worth over $2,000.
A talis, which is a Jewish prayer shawl, and a bible curtain were also stolen, and books were thrown out of the broken window onto the lawn
“”They start to touch our holy things,” said Rabbi Israel Myer. “It’s really, really painful for us and it’s getting worse, so people are really, really afraid of it.”
Some members of the Jewish community said they felt the most recent robbery was connected to these incidents and the group is being targeted due to religious discrimination.
Police say it appears the thieves targeted the synagogue Monday, and that their objective was to steal, not vandalize.
They also say they have not received increased reports over the past three weeks, as some in the Jewish community claim.
Myer said many make reports to their local independent security staff and not always to the police.
“Usually they only call the police when they have evidence, like a (licence) plate number or something,” he said.
Inside politics, Definately.
it seems like the nazi germany is not only in flatbush but spreading to Kiryas Tosh
Tosh is in an area inhabited by inbred French Quebecois who are very anti-semitic.
There have been reports of people being chased through the streets of Boisbriand while on their way to visit Tosh.
I’ve always said it…When you live among the goyim, you better learn to defend yourselves. Its too bad as Jews never seem to understand that.
At the risk of sounding less than intelligent, could someone please let the rest of us (or just me) know where Kiryas Tosh and Boisbriand is?
“Police say it appears the thieves targeted the synagogue Monday, and that their objective was to steal, not vandalize.”
“and books were thrown out of the broken window onto the lawn”
Sure sounds like vandalizim to me. If they just wanted to steal then why bother throwing Sefarim out the window?
kiryas tosh is in montriol canada
Absolutely heartbreaking! All those priceless artifacts & holy items!
What is gonna happen next?!
My friends… stay strong, and stay safe!
I’ll be praying for you! (;-(
I live in Tosh, the problem seems that no one here speaks french, Canada is a bi-lingual country (French and English are the two languages spoken) so it’s a little bit strange to communicate with the police and other officials after an incident because we are in an area where the vast majority speaks only French. Just to add in a side point that the Quebecois are not too friendly to Jews at all
What kind of tefillin (even handmade) costs $2000 and who wears tefillin on “holidays” or is that some stranger Tosher minhag???
Dont forget Quebec is franch and they dont like jewish man and all.
I have read the original report carefully.
I have perused all the comments appended to this story.
There is something that just does not add up; result: it seems like a load of “tosh” to me.
Please could some1 let our brothers in Tosh know that there’s something called “Camera’s” that could be installed like so many Shul’s already have.
