Please send me email with URL and description of any Jewish related service
located in Toronto, Canada and I will add it to Toronto Jewish directory.(this page)
By the late 1840s and early 1850s Toronto was
home to a small number of Jews, mostly merchants active in
the jewelry, clothing, and dry goods business.
In the early 1880s the Toronto Jewish community stood just short of 600
members. They were not ready for the explosion in Jewish
population numbers that came with the great westward migration
of Jews out of Russian Poland, Lithuania, and the Ukraine
that began in the early 1880s. As this migration reached Toronto
the city's Jewish population expanded by more than 200
percent to almost 1,400 Jews in 1891. During the next 20 years
it grew by more than one thousand percent to exceed 18,000
in 1911.By 1991, the Jewish population of greater Toronto had
risen to 163,000, up from 67,000 in 1951.
The Toronto UJA Federation, which was created by the merger
of the Ontario branch of the Canadian Jewish Congress with
the Toronto Jewish Welfare Fund in the 1970s, acts as the central
agency of the community.
The Jewish Family and Child Service is the
leading agency in this area. The Federation acquired responsibility
for the two Jewish community centers in the 1990s. The
Toronto Jewish community has also developed a wide range
of services for the elderly. The Baycrest Centre for Geriatric
Care is one of the world's outstanding facilities. In addition to
the support from Federation, Jewish schools, social services,
and other organizations do their own fundraising. The Orthodox
community is also organized for its particular needs,
sponsoring a bet din and maintaining a well-organized Va’ad
Hakashrut, which uses the COR label.
