Affectionately referred to as Junction Shul or Maria Street Synagogue in Toronto

shul- Bimah - 2.jpg

At Congregation Knesseth Israel, we aspire to be a leading center for all Jews who seek to develop and enhance their spiritual identity. Originally opened its doors in 1911 to members in the West Toronto (Junction) community.

Now the re-invigorated "little-gem" shul attracts congregants from all of Toronto and has always placed an emphasis on maintaining Jewish values.

The environment and culture is one that should be experienced, to see if it fits with your spirituality.

    This powerful exhibition explores the dual identity of the Auschwitz camp as a physical setting — the largest documented mass murder site in human history — and as a symbol of the borderless manifestation of hatred and human atrocity

From its early days, the Congregation Knesseth Israel community has been a sacred one, linking members through prayer since 1911. Our emphasis has always been to get to the root of our Jewish identity through insightful education and community involvement.
