Our community is committed to making Judaism meaningful and accessible through a wide variety of social, cultural and religious programs – nurturing Jewish life as we have interpreted it, a Judaism that is rooted in tradition yet reflective of change.

Our Vision

We have come together to form a Jewish community here in Riverdale, one that reflects and responds to the spectrum of families and individuals that make up our vibrant neighbourhood.

While we cannot be everything to everyone, we will do our utmost to respect the divergent voices within our community. We all share, however, the following beliefs, which define us and unite us:

• We are more than a religious community. Our Judaism has many facets: history, traditions, holidays, ethics, culture, spirituality, children, family and community.
• We are egalitarian. Women and men have equal status in our religious services.
• We are inclusive and represent a wide spectrum of individuals and families, including interfaith, multicultural and same-sex households. All of us are committed to nurturing Jewish life.
• We will be accessible to all who wish to participate in our religious and cultural events. Through translation, transliteration, discussion and education, our rich traditions will be explained.
• We are not affiliated with one movement within Judaism. We are a progressive alternative, keen to explore the scope of Jewish life and to discover what meets our needs.
