Victor is graduating this spring with a degree in mechanical engineering, and his story is shining a light on accessibility, neurodiversity, and the life-changing impact service animals can have.

This episode originally aired on March 15, 2023. Montreal filmmaker Ezra Soiferman loves the winters in his native city so much, he's made a new film about them, called Montreal, Snowbec. It's a love letter to the season where the city is covered by nearly six feet of white stuff each year. In the film, Soiferman showcases the beauty of Place Ville Marie's searchlight, plus many Jewish winter scenes, including two Hasidic men walking through a snow covered lane, and the famous St. Viateur bagel bakery, in the snow. Soiferman feels Montrealers who spend winters in Florida or Arizona are missing out on the joys of the season, from watching snowplows clean the streets to driving by the white-capped iconic Orange Julep restaurant. Ezra Soiferman's film was released two weeks ago and is already getting people smiling, which was his aim. He joins North Star host Ellin Bessner—a former Montrealer—to compare notes and memories of potholes, driveway plastic car protectors and sledding on Mount Royal.

Funerals began Wednesday in Australia for some of the 15 Jewish victims of the Dec. 14 Bondi Beach massacre, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger. The Chabad rabbi was shot at the popular Hanukkah candle-lighting festival near his synagogue during the terrorist attack by an ISIS-affiliated suspect. Among those who will be mourning is a former Ottawan, Michael Gencher, who now runs the Australian arm of the Jewish advocacy organization StandWithUs. Gencher was a close friend of the murdered rabbi and knew others who were killed. Gencher blames what happened squarely on the Australian government. He believes much more could have been done by the federal government over the last two years to crack down on escalating antisemitic hate, which included street protests and firebombings. Meanwhile, Jason Adessky, a former Montrealer, was near Bondi Beach with his children and their Canadian grandmother on Sunday to pick up Hanukkah treats. They nearly brought the family to the beachfront festivities, but decided against it because of the heat. Now Adessky is “trying not to think about the ‘what ifs'”. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner is joined by Jason Adessky and Michael Gencher to hear how the massacre has affected them personally, along with Australia's 117,000 other Jewish residents.

Their return flight was cancelled, and after being unable to secure assistance from Air Canada or even the Canadian embassy, Rina and her family endured a prolonged stay, booking expensive last-minute hotels, and eventually arranging alternate flights at a cost of approximately $10,000 out of pocket. She spoke to Andrew Carter.

A powerful thunderstorm swept through Montreal on Sunday causing major disruptions across the city. A new Léger survey ranking happiness levels across Quebec shows Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures as the happiest city, with Montreal landing in 50th place. Verdun borough councillor Enrique Machado has resigned from Projet Montréal after making a derogatory comment comparing Venezuelans to Indigenous people on social media.

Le Château was a fashion fixture across shopping malls in Canada during its heyday in the 1970s and '80s. Founder Herschel Segal, a Montrealer who recently died, is credited with bringing bell-bottom jeans to the masses—and later helping to launch the David's Tea brand. Segal is one of the five prominent Canadian Jewish leaders we've lost since this spring, and whose larger-than-life achievements left a clear mark on the community. Today, we honour those men and women with another episode of our recurring podcast series, Honourable Menschen. Also in today's show: Larry Robbins, 94, known affectionately as “Zaidy Larry”, was one of the original founders of Toronto real estate development giant Great Gulf Homes. In his later years, he pivoted from putting up private homes to helping young people develop stronger ties with their Jewish identity. Elly Bollegraaf, of Ottawa, started life as a hidden child in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, before becoming a scientist and well-known Holocaust educator in Canada. David Attis rose to fame when he took on a notorious Holocaust denier who was a teacher in the school system of Moncton, New Brunswick. And Rabbi Mordechai Feuerstein, 78, spent many years as the spiritual leader of Vancouver's Orthodox Congregation Schara Tzedeck synagogue, maintaining close ties with the Reform Jews who once shared the building. On today's episode of Honourable Menschen on North Star (formerly The CJN Daily), host Ellin Bessner is joined by The CJN's obituary columnist, Heather Ringel, to share their personal encounters with these prominent community members.

On this edition of the Richard Crouse Show we meet musician, broadcaster, photographer, empresario, and author who joins me today to talk about his newest book “Rollin' Through the ‘70s. Weed, Woman and Song.” Born in Indiana, his recording career began in 1965 with a cover of jazz great Bobby Timmon's song “Moanin'” by his band The Chateaus. Since then, he was mentored by jazz legend Oscar Peterson, and worked with everyone from Janis Joplin and The Pointer Sisters to Linda Ronstadt and Howdy Doody. I've had a remarkable life, he says, and he joins me today to talk about Vietnam and his arrival in Canada, smoking hash and many other stories from his book “Rollin' Through the ‘70s. Weed, Woman and Song.” Then we get to know Christophe Lebold, a professor of literature, performance studies and rock culture from Strasbourg, France, joins me to talk about his book “Leonard Cohen: The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall.” It's an intriguing, massive, 543-page compendium that takes a deep metaphysical dive into the late Montrealer's world.

Send us a textIm Dezember 2022 wurde Sofiane Licir auf einem Air-France-Flug von Houston nach Paris schwer verletzt, als sein Business-Class-Sitz während eines abrupt abgebrochenen Starts von den Schienen löste. Der Vorfall schleuderte ihn in die harte Sitzschale und den Bildschirm, wodurch er bleibende Schäden erlitt.Licir verklagt Air France gemäß Artikel 17 des Montrealer Übereinkommens, das Airlines für Verletzungen bei internationalen Flügen haftbar macht. Obwohl die Entschädigung normalerweise auf ca. 172.000 USD (128.821 Sonderziehungsrechte) begrenzt ist, fordert Licir, diese Obergrenze aufzuheben. Der Grund: Er wirft Air France grobe Fahrlässigkeit vor, da der Sitz und andere Business-Class-Sitze der A350-Flotte bereits bekannte Defekte hatten.Air France hat sich noch nicht öffentlich geäußert, aber der Fall könnte wegweisend für künftige Haftungsfragen im Luftverkehr werden.#AirFrance #Flugunfall #MontrealÜbereinkommen #Flugsicherheit #Luftfahrt #BusinessClass #Reiserecht #LuftverkehrFrage des Tages: Wie findet ihr die Beschwerde des Fluggastes bei United?
