About Us
Shaarei Shomayim is a Modern Orthodox community located in the heart of Toronto. We now count close to 700 families as members, host Netivot HaTorah day school, two weekday minyanim, vibrant youth programming, and provide many learning opportunities. We are proud of how each member brings his or her own story to our diverse community—such as those who have a multi-generational history at our congregation and those new to the city or Shaarei Shomayim, of all ages and backgrounds who are seeking a Jewish community – a place to call home.
Learning
Our educational programs are first-class, with an early learning center onsite, one of the finest fully inclusive religious schools in our city, and a robust adult education program. Our goal is to provide for a lifetime of Jewish learning. We also host a sizable library, wherein our members may check out materials at no charge.
Prayer & Worship
With two active full-time clergy members, a number of other rabbinical staff and educational professionals and part-time chazzan, we offer a dynamic blend of worship opportunities that span from the small and intimate to a larger traditional services. Our fully renovated building provides a truly awe-inspiring space in which to practice Jewish ritual life.
Now, as always, Shaarei Shomayim is your home.
