The Montreal Vaad Ha'ir asks Jews to pray for "brethren" in "Eretz Yisrael" [the Land of Israel] "who are facing grave danger. Many are need of Refuah Sheleima [healing]." The call to prayer fails to mention, Gaza and Hamas rocket fire as the cause of the need for healing and peace, and fails to mention or thank the IDF, IDF soldiers or the State of Israel. The Montreal Vaad Ha'ir is also a major kosher food certification agency in Canada, which uses the MK symbol reproduced at right.
