Welcome to Shaarei Shomayim, a Modern Orthodox community of approximately 700 families, located in the heart of Midtown Toronto within the eruv. We stand for Torah, the Jewish people and the State of Israel. We are constantly building a shul community.
ISRAEL NEEDS US NOW!
Our beloved Israel is under attack!
We need to play our part in the war effort and we can do so by saying extra Tehillim. The Midrash tells us that in Biblical times, for each soldier that went out to battle someone was designated to pray for them – so yes we need munitions for war, but also Tefillot/Tehillim.
Please recite Tehillim 20, 91, 120, 121, 130 & 142 (available here)
