The Shaar Shalom Singles Committee plans social, cultural, and religious programs for Toronto Jewish Singles (ages 40+) in conjunction with the Intersynagogue Singles. While programming is a primary function, creating and maintaining a sense of “chevrah” (friendship) are also on-going goals of the Committee.
The work of the Committee not only benefits Shaar Shalom singles, but also provides a wonderful synagogue venue for Jewish singles in the greater Toronto area to meet socially, have a sense of community, and make and maintain friendships while enjoying a variety of great programs at reasonable costs. Shaar Shalom Singles programs which are well attended include: dances with a professional D.J., concerts, Oneg Shabbats, and holiday celebrations. We welcome any creative ideas for programs you would like to see.
The Shaar Shalom Singles Committee is open to members of the synagogue, as well as single members of the Jewish community at large. Members of the Committee include widows, widowers, divorced and never-marrieds. Committee members jointly initiate, implement, publicize, and host events, and do so in a welcoming and caring environment. We are a working committee with a commitment to being involved and having fun.
The Committee meets once or twice a month prior to each program; as well, the Committee enjoys a celebratory dinner out about ten days following each event. We usually offer four programs per year.
If you would like to become involved in the work of the Shaar Shalom Singles Committee, please come to our next event and speak to a member of the Committee (we each wear a badge to identify ourselves) or call the synagogue office to request that the membership chair of the Committee contact you. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have and inform you of the date and time of our next planning meeting.
