Beverley Street

Walk down Beverley Street and D'Arcy Street, where Jewish immigrants once settled in the early 20th century, forming a close-knit community that thrived in these areas. While today there are few visible remnants of their presence, these streets were once home to families who contributed significantly to the foundation of Jewish culture in Toronto. Baldwin Street, once bustling with Jewish-owned businesses, stands as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of this early community, whose legacy lives on in the broader history of the city.

You will see the synagogue from the outside as the guide narrates its fascinating history and significance. We will also explore Kensington Market, once the heart of Toronto’s Jewish life, where traces of its Jewish past can still be seen in the architecture and a few remaining businesses. Learn about the Jewish institutions and schools that once thrived in this vibrant area. The tour concludes at a church that previously served as the Henry Street Synagogue, a poignant reminder of the diverse religious communities that have shared this part of Toronto over the years.
