DID YOU KNOW?

The Village Shul can help you plan a Lunch & Learn for your friends, family, or colleagues, at your home, office, or right here at the shul! For groups of 10 or more, we provide the learning session; you simply cover the lunch.

It’s a wonderful way to connect, get inspired, and leave with fresh ideas to fuel your mind, body, and soul. Gather a group and enjoy a meaningful experience together — you deserve it!

Contact Executive Director, Cindy Benedek at cbenedek@villageshul.com to learn more!

WE’RE HERE FOR YOU

If you or someone you love would appreciate a visit, whether at home or in the hospital, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our community is here to bring comfort, connection, and care. You can contact Elise Gasner at Ellise@lidpaving.ca or the shul office at admin@villageshul.com, and we’ll be glad to arrange support.

GET INVOLVED AT THE VILLAGE SHUL

Are you interested in supporting The Village Shul and making a difference?

We’re opening up new and existing committees and building a roster of volunteers to help continue all the amazing things the VS has to offer.

There are so many opportunities to choose from, and more hands make light work—so the more, the merrier! The more volunteers we have, the less each person needs to do to help keep VS thriving.

Joining a committee is also a great way to get to know the inner workings of the shul and see if a future seat on the board might be something you’d be interested in.
