A bissal about BSVT

B’Nai Shalom v’Tikvah (BSVT) means The children of peace and hope.  BSVT is a diverse congregation of Jewish people from various backgrounds.  We have a strong Welcome to Judaism program as many of our members are in multi-faith relationships. BSVT is very welcoming of LGBTQ2+.  Our services use Mishkan T’Filah as a prayer book and includes many beautiful poems and readings along with the traditional prayers.  We are a Reform synagogue and services are typically 2 hours long. 

Membership includes High Holy Day tickets as well as inclusion in many of our social events and parties. 

Our membership rates are some of the lowest in the GTA and we invite you to come and check us out a few times before you join.  We think you will like it.

How an Instagram Meme Account is Spreading Jewish Joy

When Aly Silverberg (she/her) started a Jewish meme account on Instagram, she never expected it to go viral - or for it to have such a big impact on her life and career. She certainly never expected it to reach tens of thousands of other Jews!

Living with Disabilities
A pink t-shirt that reads
Living most of my life in a hearing world – as a not-fully hearing person – has been my “normal” living experience. I don’t know any other way of being. I suspect there is a different way of living because everyone around me tells me so – they imagine that my life must be so hard, how I must cope (what are my choices??). At one point, I tried to connect to the Deaf community. Between not being fluent in American Sign Language and being able to live in the hearing world, I didn’t feel welcome – although I learned a lot about myself as a less-than-fully-hearing person in a hearing world. A few years ago, when I went from hard of hearing to deaf, I decided that I would be just that, “deaf” without the capital “D”. I am now a deaf person living in a hearing world (as opposed to a Deaf person with connections to the Deaf community).
