"BAYT" - Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto Congregation, an OU affiliate - was established in 1980 by Joseph and Faye Tanenbaum’s generous support of the needs of the Jewish community north of Toronto.
We are embarking on a new chapter in the history of the BAYT with Rabbi Daniel Korobkin as our new dynamic Rabbi, teacher and spiritual leader. We welcome young families, singles, seniors and people from every generation and walk of life to the BAYT. This is a wonderful time of year to become a member of a synagogue that emphasizes the warmth of Torah tradition.
Originally comprised of 15 families who met in Rabbi Taub's home, BAYT is now home to more than 700 member families. By joining BAYT, you'll be part of the most dynamic congregations in North America. Our growth allows room for diversity. We invite you to explore the many different Shabbat morning services, starting at different times. We are sure we have one that's right for you.
Whatever paths our members follow in their walks of Jewish life, we all seek to share and experience fulfillment of our spiritual and social needs in a traditional Orthodox environment. Through services, study groups, lectures, special events, holiday celebrations and youth activities there are daily opportunities to meet new people, make friends, grow in Torah and experience the richness of our Tradition.
The love and support of Eretz Yisrael play an integral role in all our initiatives. BAYT programs rally the larger Jewish community behind the State of Israel with speakers, discussion groups and special events. As well, BAYT projects reach out directly to Jews in Israel.
In deed, volunteer and chesed opportunities abound at BAY. Join our active Brotherhood, Sisterhood, Young Couples Group, and assist with projects or get involved with one of our many committees. Membership has other benefits, including High Holy Day seating for the entire family. Take advantage of the many shiurim and learning opportunities from various scholars throughout the year.
Make our BAYT your home! We welcome everyone and no one will ever be turned away for financial reasons.
