Annex Shul Tikkun Olam/Charity Initiative presents an exciting volunteer opportunity!
Passover Food Drive - Tuesday, March 16th, 7:30–9pm
The Annex Shul will be spending an evening assisting the National Council of Jewish Women of Canada, Toronto Section (“NCJWC”) with the sorting and packing of food items, as part of its Annual Passover Food Drive. The night will begin with a presentation about poverty in Toronto followed by sorting and packing food items and performing other related tasks.

Pirkei Shelanu: Living the Ethics - Wednesday March 10th
Join members of the Annex Shul community as we explore Pirkei Avot and struggle to meaningfully apply the Ethics of Our Fathers to our own modern-day lives.
Part book club, part personal transformation, and part social action, this group will meet bi-weekly to discuss themes from Pirkei Avot, devise strategies to live the ethics in our own individual lives and work towards developing a group-action plan that will bring us together in support of a local community project or organization.
Meets bi-weekly at:
Free Times Cafe
320 College Street, Toronto
