Beth Tikvah Synagogue, Conservative synagogue in Willowdale, Toronto, Canada.
Beth Tikvah Synagogue is a modern building located on Bayview Avenue in Willowdale that serves hundreds of families with spaces for prayer and community gatherings. The structure includes prayer halls and multipurpose areas designed to support both daily worship and larger congregational events.
The congregation was founded in 1964 as Shaarei Tikvah and took its current name in 1966 following a merger with the Bayview Synagogue Association. This joining of two groups marked a turning point in the growth of the Jewish community in this part of Toronto.
The congregation actively maintains daily worship practices and hosts educational gatherings that bring people together throughout the week. These activities form the heart of community life and help pass Jewish traditions to younger members.
The building offers wheelchair access, an elevator, and facilities designed to accommodate people with different mobility or hearing needs. It is helpful to check ahead if you need any specific accommodations for your visit.
Srul Irving Glick, a respected composer, served as the congregation's music director and resident composer from 1969 to 2002 and left a lasting mark on its musical traditions. His work brought artistic recognition to a North American house of worship.
