3 Synagogues Hit By Gunfire In The Greater Toronto Area
Police tape is seen outside the Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto (BAYT) synagogue following overnight gunshots fired at the building in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, on March 21, 2026. Three synagogues in the Toronto area were targeted by gunfire in early March 2026, including Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto in Vaughan, Shaarei Shomayim in midtown Toronto, and Temple Emanu-el. These shootings caused no injuries but damaged buildings, prompting police to investigate the incidents as potentially connected and hate-motivated, amid a broader rise in antisemitism.
