Several members of the Jewish community in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan have been receiving anti-Semitic telephone calls after a local human-rights panel ordered a school board to stop allowing students to recite the Lord’s Prayer in public schools. Among those receiving such calls was Rabbi Steven Kaplan, leader of the 150-family Jewish community in the city of Saskatoon. The panel’s ruling last month came in the wake of complaints from after Jewish and Unitarian students.
