Holy Blossom Temple, established in 1856, is one of the oldest synagogues in Canada. It has been affiliated with the Reform movement since 1920 and is the largest Reform congregation in the country.

With such an extensive and diverse membership, Holy Blossom is many things to many people. But our basic purpose is to be a vibrant centre of Jewish life. To achieve that goal we strive to uphold the three fundamental principles of Judaism: study (Torah), worship (avodah), and good deeds (gemilut hasadim).

As Reform Jews, we are an integral part of the Canadian Council for Reform Judaism (CCRJ), the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) and the World Union for Progressive Judaism (WUPJ). We actively recognize our responsibility to deal with issues that concern both the Jewish as well as general community through our affiliation with Jewish and non-Jewish organizations in Canada.

  • While our tradition provides us with a rich heritage, embracing new congregants ensures that we will be here for future generations. You and your family, as prospective members, are important to us: You are our future.

Temple membership offers you the opportunity to be part of a vibrant, committed community of Jews ­ a community engaged in a continuous, open-minded process of religious exploration. As a member you can participate in regular worship services with others. From preschool to confirmation, your children can acquire the skills and education they need to live as Jews in the modern world. The adult members of your family can take advantage of many stimulating lectures and educational programs on Jewish themes. As a Temple member, you also have the chance to make a difference, both within the congregation and community at large. Share your skills with others as a volunteer on one of our many committees and connect with the people who make Holy Blossom the warm and caring place that it is.

Deciding whether to join a synagogue, and which one, can be challenging. We hope this information package will answer some of the questions you may have about Holy Blossom Temple. Please feel free to contact our Director of Membership, Shannon Tramer, at stramer@holyblossom.org or (416) 789-3291, ext.227, or our Executive Director, Benjamin Applebaum, at bapplebaum@holyblossom.org or (416) 789-3291, ext.226, at any time for further information.
