Discovering Toronto’s Jewish Roots

Virtual Walking Tour

Explore the captivating Jewish heritage of Toronto, one of North America’s largest and most diverse Jewish communities on this live, virtual walking tour. With a heritage dating back to the mid-19th century, Toronto is home to a vibrant mix of Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi, and Ethiopian Jews, reflected in the community’s synagogues, cultural organizations, restaurants, and celebrations. Our local guide, a scholar of Jewish history, will take us to local landmarks from the historic Kensington Market neighborhood to the modern Forest Hills Jewish Centre, and will discuss the community’s strong tradition of social justice and activism which continues to this day.

Co-presented with Our Travel Circle.
