About this talk
Toronto has been called the "most diverse city in the world" because half its population was born outside of Canada and because its residents represent 230 different nationalities. But at its founding, Toronto was the "City of Churches," a city where, it's been said that into the 1950s, "even the Jews were Presbyterian." Today, Toronto's Jewish community boasts a diverse range of synagogues and schools, social services, cultural festivals - and even filming locations for Adam Sandler!
Where have Jews fit into the development of Toronto's multiculturalism? Where have they struggled with it, shaped it, and benefited from it? How have Jews made their mark on this city over the past 175 years? Discover what makes the Jewish community of Toronto so great, from Kensington Market to Thornhill, from blueberry buns to world-famous hospitals like Mount Sinai and Baycrest.
