Shabbat Shalom, Jewish Toronto! ✨ Thank you and farewell to our amazing 2025–2026 ShinShinim, who brought energy, passion, and love for Israel to our community. 💙🇮🇱

Heartfelt thanks to our host families, whose generosity and hospitality made this year possible.

In 2022, several municipal races were decided by fewer than 125 votes. When the margins are that small, every voice - and every vote - matters.

On August 27, join UJA for a briefing with leaders from CIJA and CJPAC to learn about the municipal election and how you can actively get involved in shaping our city’s future. The outcome of this election won’t be decided on election day alone. It will be determined by how our community chooses to participate in the lead up to these elections

Mazal Tov! ❤️ Eliya Cohen, who survived 505 days in Hamas captivity, and his beloved partner, Ziv, are officially married! 💍

The couple attended the Nova Music Festival when Hamas terrorists launched their brutal attack on October 7, 2023. Eliya was kidnapped into Gaza, while Ziv managed to escape. Throughout his captivity, Eliya did not know whether she had survived, and Ziv tirelessly advocated for his release.

Now reunited and married, their love story is a powerful testament to hope, resilience, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. We wish Eliya and Ziv a lifetime of love and happiness together. 💕

Meet Maayan, a swimming coach from Israel who came to Toronto for the JCC Maccabi Games® & Access.

From supporting young Israeli athletes in the pool to connecting with Jewish coaches and participants from around the world, the Games were about both sport and community.

For Maayan and the athletes she coached, the Games were a chance to represent Israel, build connections and be part of a global Jewish sporting community, creating memories and friendships that will last long after the Games.
