D’VAR TORAH

By Rabbi Dovid Zauderer

'The Only Thing We Have To Fear Is Fear (Of G-D) Itself'

Please read HERE.

Dear Aish Family,

I was honored to spend this past Shabbos at the Village Shul speaking and celebrating Shabbos with some of the most amazing Aish partners in North America. Rabbi Tzvi Sytner is the current CEO and Senior Rabbi of the Village Shul. Rabbi Sytner made the traditional Torah reading come alive. In between each aliya he would ask deep trivia questions and reward the right answers with bags of licorice! What was amazing was that everyone in the congregation was engaged and suggesting answers. 

My wife, Rebbetzin Rachel Burg was honored to give a class during davening for those that might find traditional prayers difficult. I expected to find a small group in the class. I was shocked to see almost 100 Jews attending, thirsty for Jewish wisdom. In most synagogues after prayers, everyone hurries to the kiddush. At The Village Shul, everyone patiently waited as I gave a 45-minute class after davening had ended. 

After the kiddush, we joined Rabbi and Rebbetzin Sytner for lunch with over 50 young professionals. It was clear from the personal stories how instrumental the Sytners and the Village Shul have been in their Jewish journeys. I felt truly blessed to see incredible Jewish leadership in action in Toronto.

The Village Shul's Women's Mikvah - in the merit of

Rebbetzin Faigy Hoch A"H

We are excited to announce that renovations of the mikvah at The Village Shul started on Monday, January 16, 2023. The work is estimated to last a few months.


For over 20 years, and 28,000 visits, women from all over Toronto – representing the full spectrum of Jewish observance – attend TVS Mikvah. While our women’s mikvah and keilim mikvah are closed, Chana LeBowitz (women’s mikvah) and Abi Samole (keilim mikvah) are happy to help redirect you to other mikvaos in the city.


Your patience is most appreciated during this time, and we look forward to greeting you at our beautifully updated mikvah!


With great appreciation to all our donors and supporters.
