At least 1,000 people came to hear him speak at a rally in a Thornhill synagogue several weeks ago.<br /><br /> Last month, at least 100 members of Toronto's Jewish community, including real estate developer Albert Reichmann, attended a $1,000-a-plate fund-raising dinner for the Alliance, whose positions on family values, separate school funding and other issues seem to be in step with some members of the observant Jewish community.<br /><br /> Moshe Ronen, the national president of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said none of the five parties in the Canadian Parliament is racist or anti-Semitic, and that the Alliance Party has made assurances that it would not tolerate extremist elements within its ranks.<br /><br /> "They've told us they're quite conscious of these dangers, and their intent is to root them out," Ronen said.<br /><br /> Day has said repeatedly that anyone with racist views would be quickly booted out of the right-of-center party.</p> <p> </p>
