If you are one of the very many that have already registered, we thank you.
If you haven’t and are still looking for the right kind of service, please read on.
Don’t read Hebrew? No problem. Don’t feel included? No problem. Then The Chai Centre is for you!
Come celebrate the High Holidays like never before. It will transform the way you view the High Holidays. Can you imagine actually looking forward to going to Shul? Click Here to read reflections from some of our past High Holidays attendees!
The services at The Chai Centre are unique; they are purposely structured and designed to be completely educational. Our services are geared toward those who have difficulty following or understanding the Traditional service. Instead of reading from a prayer book that you may not understand (or even be able to read), services at The Chai Centre come alive with the way we celebrate!
Additionally, the Main Sanctuary will have the Traditional service ongoing, and you are welcome to go between our classes and the Main Sanctuary at your leisure.
As a courtesy to the other participants, we ask that you try to be punctual for the classes that you will be attending.
Reserved seating for families will be available upon request.
Tickets are $180 for members and $260 for non-members.
Please do not hesitate to ask any of our staff if you require any assistance.
It is our hope that this will be your most inspiring High Holiday experience ever!
This year, our location will be The Petroff Gallery, 1016 Eglinton Ave W., which is a few doors east of the Village Shul
