About Us
The Toronto Board of Rabbis is a pluralistic organization of ideologically diverse rabbis serving the Greater Toronto Area. We foster collegiality, collaboration, and professional development while amplifying our collective rabbinic voice. We address issues facing both the Jewish and broader community, taking action to represent and support the needs of those we serve.
Connecting Clergy, Strengthening Community
What We Do
CONNECT: Finding Your Place in Jewish Toronto
We help individuals and families discover their spiritual home, connecting them with rabbis for lifecycle events and synagogues that match their traditions and needs across the GTA.
SERVE: Caring for Community in Every Season
From our annual food drive to High Holiday assistance, from hospital chaplaincy to crisis response, we provide essential services that strengthen and support Jewish life in Toronto.
UNITE: One Voice Across All Traditions
As Ontario’s only multi-denominational rabbinic organization, we bridge Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, and non-denominational communities, speaking with one voice on matters that affect us all.
LEAD: Shaping Tomorrow’s Jewish Community
We guide interfaith dialogue, advocate for Jewish values in public discourse, and provide the moral leadership our community needs to navigate contemporary challenges.
