The Kehillat Shaarei Torah (Hebrew: קהילת שערי תורה) is a Modern Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 2640 Bayview Avenue, in the North York district of Toronto, in Ontario, Canada.

The rabbi, since 2009, has been Rabbi Joe Kanofsky.[1]

History

The congregation was established in November 1980 by Jews from South Africa who had emigrated to Canada during the late 1970s.[1]

In 2024, the synagogue was vandalized twice. On April 19, five windows were broken.[2] On May 17, a masked person in a sweatshirt was seen on camera breaking doors and windows. The attack was investigated by the Hate Crime Unit of the Toronto Police Service.[3][4]
