Encounters with anti-Israel graffiti and posters, the ongoing disruption of events, and attacks on businesses and institutions have left many Jews in Canada feeling unsafe since Oct. 7.
The apprehension also apparently involves fearing what could happen if an unfriendly driver does a pick-up arranged through a ride-hailing service.
Currently, several North American communities have established their own car services and “Jewber” taxis—including Montreal, Los Angeles, and Chicago, home to “KalaJu” (“Call a Jew”)—but while these may operate on communications platforms like WhatsApp, they haven’t been accessible through a dedicated smartphone application.
