The purpose of this post is to hold some general information about the synagogue, its schedule, and how to join its weekly MMS text message distribution list. Please click the "See More" link, below, to read the post in its entirety.
We are located at 182 Caribou Road, a few blocks away from the intersection of Bathurst Street and Lawrence Avenue. This is an unmarked house. Enter using the side door; immediately after entering the house, turn to your right. Please see http://fb.com/ben.ish.chai/info for a map.
We are a small, warm, friendly Sepharadi synagogue. We follow the customs of the Edot HaMizrach. Our congregation also includes some Moroccan members and some Ashkenazi members. We'd love to welcome you.
We run services every Shabbat. We also run services on all Jewish holidays, including on the High Holidays (tickets are free) and all the others.
Our Shabbat prayer schedule:
* Friday afternoons: Five minutes after Shabbat candlelighting.
* Shabbat mornings: 9:10 a.m.
* Shabbat afternoons: 45 minutes before sunset.
We normally do not run any services on other weekdays.
We're an Orthodox Jewish synagogue. We have separate sections for men and women. We're not wheelchair accessible: we're in a basement, and there's no elevator.
If you'd like to get a text message on your cellphone once a week with our weekly announcements, please speak with any of the synagogue regulars.
We also have a WhatsApp group.
You do not need to be vaccinated — everyone is always welcome to join us, despite the pandemic. You may wear a mask if you want to.
