Last week, the head of DSF's immigration practice, Asher Frankel, and immigration lawyer Benjamin Grubner C.S., attended the 2026 J2J Expo as sponsors.

Hosted by the Toronto Jewish Network, the event brings together Jewish professionals, businesses, entrepreneurs, and institutions under one roof to build opportunity and long-term communal strength.

It was a valuable opportunity to connect with peers and support the continued growth of the community.
