Shalom!
Welcome to Shaarei Shomayim, a modern orthodox community of about 750
families, located in the heart of mid-town Toronto
and within the eruv.
We stand for Torah, the Jewish people and the State of Israel; we are
constantly building a shul community where it all matters.
Shabbat is the core of shul life, and we are proud to offer multiple
services, youth
programs and educational
programs each Shabbat. During the week, we provide a complete
infrastructure of Jewish learning, education, community volunteering,
socializing, and visiting the sick. We seek to inspire our
members to live a life imbued with Torah values, dedicated to
community, education, the Jewish People and the State of Israel.

Annual
Community Siyum
This Shavuot, we will once again be joining together as a community to
complete a significant area of Jewish learning. In advance of
the holiday in which we celebrate the giving of the Torah, we will be
studying Maimonides Book of Mitzvoth - which lists and explains all 613
commandments in the Torah. If you would like to be a part of
this learning (which can be done from either a Hebrew or English text),
please contact Rabbi
Strauchler. |

soon follow. In a tour d’horizon, Dr. Pipes will offer
background to
these developments, analyze their significance, and make specific
predictions.
