Ask The Rabbi
This “OPEN” class is an opportunity to ask a Rabbi on any topic or subject matter. Judaism teaches us that everything comes from the Torah, so there is no question that is off-limits. If the Rabbi doesn’t know the answer, then it’s his responsibility to find out.
Currently, we are doing an in-depth study of The Book of Daniel.
This meeting is for men and women.
A Spiritual Awakening
This “CLOSED” meeting is based on bridging the gap between Torah and the 12 Steps of AA. The meeting begins with a lesson from the Torah and how it correlates to recovery from addiction, followed by an open share.

This meeting is for men and women.
The Path of the Just – מסילת ישרים
This “OPEN” weekly class is based on the teachings of the RAMCHAL – Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (1707-1746). This particular work, The Path of the Just, will help one develop a much better “sense of self” and help improve on character development.
This meeting is for men and women.
Guard Your Tongue
This “OPEN” class is all about the importance of speech. It is easy to take words for granted. This class aims to help recognize the sensitivities in speech that are sometimes lacking.

Friday -
approx. 30 minutes before candlelighting in Toronto.

Candlelighting Club
The special Mitzvah of lighting candles for Shabbos brings peace into one’s home. This is one of the 3 special commandments given specifically to women. But it has to be done at the correct time.
This class will be words of inspiration just before the onset of Shabbos and will end 5 minutes before the proper time to light candles so that everyone will be connected through this special Mitzvah.
For women only (or men who also need to light candles).
This class is given by Mrs. Elana Soroka.
Families of Holocaust Survivors (FOHS)
This “CLOSED” meeting is held weekly during the winter months. The goal of the meeting is for children of Holocaust survivors to learn how to best share their personal stories of the Holocaust so that the memories will not be forgotten.
This meeting is for family members of Holocaust survivors.
Please call the Rabbi for more information.
