Seniors
At Beth Tzedec, we understand the importance of cultivating lasting friendships and maintaining ties to the community, which is why our senior-focused initiatives aim to foster a sense of belonging and provide a supportive network. As Rabbi Steve Wernick has pointed out in his sermons, loneliness is a disease and community is the cure. Join us to connect with like-minded individuals, engage in meaningful activities, and create lasting memories.
Beth Tzedec doubly recognizes the importance of families sharing Jewish experiences together! We’re creating programming that is meaningful and enjoyable for the whole family – children, parents and grandparents. As the largest conservative synagogue in the world, we maintain Jewish traditions across generations, while creating new ones.
Havdalah at Harbourfront Centre with Aviva Chernick and Jacob's Ladder
Presented as part of Ashkenaz Festival
Beth Tzedec is pleased to partner with Ashkenaz Festival in presenting the Boston-based, international touring band Jacob’s Ladder for a musical Havdalah at the Stage in the Park at Harbourfront Centre (235 Queens Quay W, Toronto).
One of the most revered Jewish rituals, the celebration of Havdalah at the Ashkenaz Festival is possibly the largest and most multicultural observance of this tradition taking place anywhere in Canada. Thousands of people of all backgrounds gather to sing together and awaken their senses by smelling spices, drinking wine, and basking in firelight, as the passing of Shabbat is marked.
This year’s Havdalah is led by Aviva Chernick with colleagues from Beth Tzedec Congregation, in collaboration with Jewish bluegrass and Americana innovators Jacob’s Ladder.
There is no charge; everyone is welcome.
