Celebrating a Meaningful Accomplishment: CAEF Advocate Award of Excellence
November 27, 2025, the Canadian Antisemitism Education Foundation (CAEF), in collaboration with ICEJ Canada, hosted a truly impactful evening in Toronto to present the CAEF Advocate Award of Excellence to Donna Holbrook. This event honored her life-long leadership, advocacy, and bridge-building between Christian and Jewish communities across Canada.
Honouring Over Two Decades of Transformational Leadership
Donna’s work spans over two decades as Executive Director of ICEJ Canada, where she has:
- Revitalized and grown ICEJ Canada into one of the most respected Christian Zionist organizations in the country.
- Built meaningful partnerships and supported numerous humanitarian, education, and community projects tied to Israel.
- Actively countered antisemitism and encouraged deeper understanding and solidarity.
The award evening drew community leaders, allies, and supporters who came together to honor her dedication, compassion, and sustained impact — acknowledging not only her personal achievements but also the broader significance of mutual respect, education, and allyship in today’s world.
This celebration stood as a powerful reminder of how one individual’s lifelong commitment to support, education, and friendship can inspire and unite diverse communities.
