Away from the everyday, we will take time to explore synagogue life and gather new ideas; study with scholars and celebrate with friends; learn from the pros and each other; sing and schmooze.

So get ready to plan your trip, design your days, raise your voice in worship, learn new skills, and enjoy our host city, Toronto.

We can’t wait to see you there!
