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.
