Families
Family programs are always a cornerstone of Beth Tzedec. With dedicated staff to engage families of all ages, we hope to remain a go-to synagogue for Toronto’s Jewish families. Whether at fun new events like our Teddy Bear Seder, Camp Hi-Ho experience, or regular services like our Short and Sweet Family Service, we are working on bringing you the most memorable and unique opportunities we can.
Shabbat
Our popular Short and Sweet Monthly Family Service is an abridged Shabbat service that is family friendly and includes large amounts of child participation. It is led by Daniel Silverman, our Director of Education and Family Programming. A dairy luncheon is served after each service with lots of opportunities for schmoozing!
Throughout the year, our monthly Family Friday Night Dinners, generously supported by the Gertner family, give intergenerational families with kids of all ages the experience of a wonderful Kabbalat Shabbat service followed by a kid friendly Shabbat dinner. It is an experience not to be missed!
Holidays
At Beth Tzedec, there are lots of opportunities for families to celebrate and mark the holidays together. On the High Holidays, we offer a number of Family High Holiday Services and Experiences that allows parents and children to worship and engage together. Some of the year’s holiday highlights include Sukkot and Simhat Torah Programming, the Purim Carnival and our H̱anukkah celebration.
Other Experiences
We offer so many ways to engage with our community. Our Friday Pre-Shabbat Baby Class helps our youngest community members learn about Shabbat songs and practices. Our Family H̱esed Experiences give families the chance to give back and make positive change in our world. There will be many more programs and events throughout the year, and some of the best ideas come from community members, so please be in touch!
Embroidery Project: Support Peace of Mind and Help Rebuild Kibbutz Be’eri
with the Mezuza Mamas
This program will be held at the Forest Hill Jewish Centre (360 Spadina Road)
Kibbutz Be'eri was amongst the hardest-hit kibbutzim during the massacre of October 7. They are building 270 new homes so people displaced after October 7 can return. While no words, or actions can provide proper relief to those affected by the massacre and the destruction, the objective is to send a package of 270 mezuzot along with a financial gift to support them as they rebuild. The goal is to raise $36,000 for the 6 new kindergartens that need books and toys.
We hope you can join us at the Forest Hill Jewish Centre (360 Spadina Rd., Toronto) to embroider a mezuza and help us collect much needed funds towards Kibbutz Be'eri's rebuilding. The mezuzot will serve as a reminder of the bonds that unite us, and the prayers we send to our brothers and sisters in Israel. The money collected will buy books and toys for the new kindergartens. If you cannot attend, you can still be part of this amazing initiative by either organizing your own embroidery circle* (with our support and guidance), or by sponsoring a mezuza to be embroidered by us.
Cost: $120. Register at www.fjhc.ca/mezuzot.
Peace of Mind is a transformative nine-month therapeutic intervention that offers a profound healing experience for IDF veterans. Jewish communities worldwide play a key role in providing a safe, quiet, and supportive environment for one week where the participants can process their trauma away from the pressures of daily life in Israel.
Three of Peace of Mind’s participants were directly affected by the October massacre: Alon Gat, who was kidnapped along with his wife, Yarden, and their daughter. You may have read about Yarden's capture and Alon's escape. Another participant, Shahar Tzemach, was murdered while defending the Kibbutz, and Gal Godard, a potato farmer, has lost his parents and now lacks a livelihood for his family.
