Services

With open doors to all members of the community, Annex Shul offers a unique Shabbat atmosphere. The unique offering of the Shul is a trichitza, allowing for mixed or separate seating. We welcome and host individuals with a diverse range of religious backgrounds and styles of observance. Services are led by Hillel's Rabbi Aaron Levy (rabbi@annexshul.com) and are often followed by a kosher dinner, niggunim (songs) and many l'chaims. Check our Calendar for our schedule of services and summer schedule of dinners.

FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICES

The increasingly popular Friday night services (Kabbalat Shabbat and Ma'ariv) last a little more than one hour and makes for a great opportunity to meet other members of downtown Toronto's young Jewish community. We ask those who stay for dinner to RSVP in advance.

New Time for Services

Starting next Friday (June 13) and throughout the summer, our weekly services will start later, due to the later sunset. Please join us for lively, song-filled services and a free, light kiddush.
6:45pm - Doors Open
7pm Sharp - Davening Starts

Friday Night Dinners: The Annex Shul serves Kosher Dinners following services, on a bi-weekly schedule. If you plan to stay for dinner, please contribute $18 to cover the cost of dinner and wine. We ask that you pay in advance for Shabbat dinners.

To buy your dinner ticket, please check under the Shabbat Dinner tab.

Our monthly schedule of services and kiddush or dinners are on our Calendar page, or to be redirected, please CLICK HERE. The Annex Shul offers a kiddush each week, at no cost.

For both dinners or kiddushes we do encourage you to bring a bottle of scotch or kosher wine!

SATURDAY SERVICES

Coming Soon

High Holiday Services

This year the Annex Shul did not hold High Holiday Services and instead directed congregants to check out a few of the other local synagogues in the Annex neighbourhood. Next year however, we hope to see you out at our services!

Special Services

The Annex Shul tries caters to what the community finds important. Our services have varied from hosting different Rabbis from across North America, to Holiday and even drumming services. We want your feedback and suggestions on how to make this Shul right for you.

We are always looking for new service-leading talent! Please contact rich@annexshul.com with any queries.
