From 7:00 in the morning to 10:00 at night, 1700 Bathurst Street rings out with the sounds of teachers organizing lessons, congregation members and  non-members davening at daily minyan, children giggling as they run to classes, story readings in the Max and Beatrice Wolfe Library, couples booking their wedding dates, b’nai mitzvah tutoring, seniors reminiscing with Toronto historians, Jewish communal organizations at breakfast and meetings, choir rehearsals, fourteen wheeler trucks delivering kosher foods and produce for the luncheons, dinners and members’ smachot.

1700 Bathurst Street is a cherished meeting place, where community, tradition, learning and faith intermingle for the health of us all. This is the legacy that we must protect and rebuild for future generations, through the Joint Building Project.

Why renovate now?

In the last several years, Beth Tzedec spent in excess of $300,000 on emergency repairs to the synagogue. We have the choice of continuing to do “patch-work” repairs to an aging building, or to once and for all, in a planned manner, renovate and replace an aging and inefficient building with a new and modern building. It’s a matter of dollars and cents. In the long run it is more economical to do the major refurbishment and renovation than to fritter away money on repairs.

1700 Belongs To Us All

We need your support and look forward to answering any questions you may have.
