Jewish-themed tour of Toronto and explore the historic streets, featuring old synagogues and landmarks that reflect the city's early Jewish community. Begin your tour at the renowned Art Gallery of Ontario, located near neighborhoods that were historically home to many Jewish families, offering insights into how art and culture have influenced Toronto's diverse communities.
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 neighborhoods. 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.
