ur congregation offers a friendly, warm, and supportive environment in which Jews by birth and by choice and non-Jewish family and friends celebrate the richness and beauty of Jewish life through life-cycle events, communal worship, and education. Every member of our community is welcome and encouraged to contribute his or her talents, expertise, and energy. Our volunteer-run congregation fosters strong social bonds among its members. It is a unique congregation in which:

Every member feels a connection to the community, a lifelong connection that enables us to share life's events. Solel welcomes singles and families from all backgrounds. We have many couples of mixed faiths, and both partners are most welcome to participate
We welcome gay and le***an members. We do our best to make our synagogue accessible to people with disabilities. We regularly engage a sign-language interpreter for our deaf members. Our entire building is wheelchair accessible and we have a specially designed washroom. Each member's Jewish identity is affirmed and enhanced. We “do for ourselves” to create a participatory environment: in religious services and rituals, in our Religious School , in our social programmes. We value our youth, not only as “our future” but also as our present. We contribute to the welfare of the community and world around us by working toward Tikkun Olam. Lifelong Jewish learning becomes a shared ideal, in theory and in practice. Solel has so much to offer, regardless of age, background or experiences.
