Our Shinshinim

“Shinshinim” is an acronym for “Shnat Sherut” - year of service. This word describes a program developed by the Jewish Agency for Israel and supported by the Jewish Federation of Greater Toronto. Israeli high school graduates are carefully selected to volunteer for a year abroad. The Shinshinim bring a modern, religious sense of Israel and Israeli culture to our community. 

Previously, Shaarei Shomayim has partnered with Netivot HaTorah Day School and Bnei Akiva to welcome the Shinshinim.
