Beth Torah Congregation
Beth Torah Congregation is a Canadian nonprofit organization and Jewish synagogue located in Toronto, Ontario. Established in 1963, it serves the spiritual, communal, and educational needs of over 500 families, offering a progressive and inclusive approach to Conservative Judaism. Registered under the Business Registration Number 106790447RR0001, Beth Torah is recognized by the Canada Revenue Agency as a registered charitable organization advancing the Jewish faith and education.
History and Mission
Founded in the early 1960s, Beth Torah Congregation has played a central role in the Toronto Jewish community for more than 60 years. The congregation embraces a philosophy it calls "Now Judaism," which blends traditional Jewish wisdom with modern progressive values to make Jewish identity and practice relevant and meaningful in contemporary life. This approach encourages members to engage both inwardly, developing personal connections to their heritage, and outwardly, towards community service and social justice, emphasizing the Jewish concept of tikkun olam (repairing the world).
Religious and Educational Programs
Beth Torah offers traditional, egalitarian, and Conservative Jewish worship services where men and women participate equally. The synagogue is committed to making every moment thoughtful and enriching through vibrant prayer services, lifecycle celebrations, and community events.
Education is a cornerstone of Beth Torah’s communal life. Programs are provided for all ages, including young children, B’nai Mitzvah preparation, and adult learning. These programs aim to foster Jewish engagement, connection, and joy through dynamic teaching that respects both tradition and modern sensibilities.
Leadership and Community Role
The congregation is led by Rabbis who build on the founding families’ legacy with vision, passion, and optimism. Under their guidance, Beth Torah galvanizes members to inspired Jewish practice and encourages active participation in social and communal responsibilities.
Beth Torah identifies itself as a warm, inclusive family synagogue that offers a sense of belonging and community. It maintains a balance between honoring the wisdom of the Torah and addressing the modern concerns of its members, making it a hub for progressive Judaism in Toronto.
Facilities and Services
Beth Torah includes a sanctuary and community spaces dedicated to worship, learning, and social activities. It has embraced technology to expand its reach, offering livestreamed Shabbat services to engage members both in-person and remotely.
This synthesis presents Beth Torah Congregation as a vibrant, forward-looking synagogue deeply rooted in Jewish tradition while actively engaging with the modern world and the needs of its diverse community[1][2][3][4][5].

Running for Their Memory: Yoel Levy – The Jewish Fitness Coach Yoel Levy, who resides in Manchester, has made a unique name for himself on social media as "The Jewish Fitness Coach", blending his passion for health with deep pride in his heritage. Over the past year, Yoel has been running marathons around the world –dressed in a full Batman costume – in loving memory of Ariel and Kfir Bibas, two young brothers whose love for Batman and whose tragic story has touched the hearts of so many. Every finish line Yoel crosses is in their honour, and in tribute to their beloved mother, Shiri. Last week, while in Israel, Yoel had the privilege of meeting Yarden Bibas and the extended Bibas family at Kibbutz Nir Oz. The encounter left a powerful impact on him, strengthening his resolve to complete his ambitious goal: 12 marathons in 12 months. As Yoel shared recently: "Running in a costume for hours is no joke. It’s hot. It’s heavy. It hurts. But the WHY behind the costume is what keeps me going." Yoel’s next marathon is this Sunday, October 19, at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. He would love nothing more than to see our community come out and cheer him on as he runs – not just for a finish line, but for memory, for justice, and for light. Let’s show up for Yoel – and for the Bibas family. Together, we embody strength, hope, and community. Keep running for their memories, Yoel!! Shabbat Shalom🧡🧡🧡 Toronto Waterfront Marathon Sunday, October 19, 2025 www.torontowaterfrontmarathon.com #shabbatshalom #thejewishfitnesscoach #marathonrunner #bibasboys #batman #pride #hope #community #torontowaterfrontmarathon #neverforget #health @thejewishfitnesscoach @bethtorahto (fb)
They are home!! Our hearts are full today, and the world feels a little lighter. Around the globe, Jews watched, unable to take a breath until the last of the living hostages, held in captivity, finally returned home. Reunited with their loved ones, the scenes were overwhelming, raw, sacred, magical beyond words, and impossible to describe without tears. A collective sigh of relief, joy, and heartbreak all collided in those moments. As we enter Simchat Torah, the time when we celebrate the Torah with singing and dancing, we hold close the words: "We will dance again." Today, that hope feels more real. Simchat Torah reminds us that even in the darkest moments, the Jewish spirit continues to rise, to celebrate, to hope. We also continue to pray for all the families still awaiting the return of their loved ones to be laid to rest. Am Yisrael Chai. #theyrehome #hope #strength #prayers #amyisraelchai #sheminiatzeret #wewilldanceagain #simchattorah @bethtorahto (fb)
