About this Event

We'll visit the area's many schools, yeshivas, and synagogues, including Congregation Habonim Toronto, founded by Holocaust survivors; and the iconic bakeries and kosher restaurants like the United Bakers Dairy Restaurant, where a lunchtime meal has become decades-long Jewish family tradition.

Please note: At the July 9 presentation, there will be a post-tour visit to the United Bakers Dairy Restaurant.

This tour was developed with the support of a generous donation by Andrew and Sharon Himel and the Himel Family.

This tour was developed by an emerging historian. Learn more about how Heritage Toronto is empowering the next generation of heritage advocates with our Emerging Historians Program.
