Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Toronto

The History of the Jews in Toronto refers to the history of the Jewish community of Toronto, Ontario. Jews have resided in Toronto since the early 19th century. Since the 1970s, the city has been home to the largest Jewish population in Canada and become a centre of Jewish Canadian culture. Toronto's Jews have played an important role in the development of the city. Bathurst Street has been the heart of the Jewish community of Toronto for many decades. Since the early twentieth century, Jews have lived around Bathurst Street south of Bloor Street east to Spadina Avenue (particularly in the Kensington Market district) and west to beyond Christie Pits. After World War II, wealthier members of the community moved to Forest Hill. Today, much of the Jewish community resides along the street from north of St. Clair Avenue to south of Lawrence Avenue and beyond the city limits at Steeles Avenue, extending to Elgin Mills Road in Richmond Hill. Since the early 1970s, the northern stretch of Bathurst has become one of the centres of the Russian Jewish community in Toronto. According to the 2001 census, 164,150 Jews lived in Toronto.
