Toronto is one of the most diverse, dynamic cities in the world. With citizens here from every country, our neighbours represent numerous faiths and belief systems. Rather than feeling isolated within our “space” in the cultural mosaic, Beth Tzedec Congregation continues to play an important role in interfaith engagement with the broader Canadian faith community.

Our Rabbis actively engage in relationship building with leaders from across religious backgrounds. Whether we are advocating for greater understanding of Jewish religion and culture, or increasing our own understanding of others, we are committed to developing engagement. Recently we have been part of programs together with Timothy Eaton Memorial Church, Grace Church on the Hill, King St Community Church, The Simeon Institute, Heart to Heart, Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem, the University of St. Michael’s College as part of their diploma in interfaith dialogue —participating in their Faith & Food class, as well as our own programming and small groups geared to interfaith couples and families. By engaging in dialogue and collaboration, we model an authentic and dynamic Judaism that honours tradition while embracing openness.
