Holy Blossom Temple, Reform synagogue in Toronto, Canada

Holy Blossom Temple occupies a reinforced concrete building at 1950 Bathurst Street, featuring Byzantine Revival architecture designed by Chapman and Oxley in 1938.

Founded in 1856 by Jewish immigrants from Europe, Holy Blossom Temple started in a rented room above a drugstore before moving to its current location.

The synagogue maintains a balance of Jewish traditions while integrating modern elements, including mixed seating arrangements and musical accompaniment during services.

The temple conducts daily Shacharit Services at 7:30 am, with modified times of 9:00 am on Sundays, offering both in-person and online participation options.

Joan Friedman made history at Holy Blossom Temple in 1980 by becoming the first woman to serve as a rabbi in Canada.
