The Toronto Jewish Chorus

Bring your lawn chair (if you have one) and join the Toronto Jewish Chorus for great music, ice cream, Havdalah and friends. This event is part of our Havdalah on the Porch series.

The Toronto Jewish Chorus was founded in 2009 by Temple Emanu-El's own Cantor Judy Adelman Gershon and has risen to become a fixture of Toronto's Jewish music scene. Past performance highlights include The Toronto Jewish Film Festival, Toronto Jewish Music Week, University of Toronto - Hart House Theatre, City Playhouse Theatre, Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, Baycrest, Temple Sinai Congregation, Temple Emanu-El, Mel Lastman Square, and many more. 

More about the event:

Please try to bring a folding lawn chair. There is a very limited number of chairs available from the synagogue. You may need to stand or sit on the ground if you do not bring a chair. If it is critically important that you use one of the synagogue's chairs, we recommend that you come early. Unfortunately, we cannot reserve a chair for you, even if you write it in the registration notes.

Outdoors, weather permitting: The program will take place outdoors in front of Temple Emanu-El, 120 Old Colony Road, Toronto. In case of inclement weather, the program will take place indoors.

It's all free. This evening is free of charge and open to everyone. Donations to Temple Emanu-El are greatly appreciated and will help us present more great musical programming. To make a donation in honour Temple Emanu-El's musical programming, click HERE.

Security: Please be prepared to show photo ID for each adult and for security to examine bags.
