Our team is excited to launch our first series—an arc of four programs offered throughout this year, 5785 (2024-2025), each delving into mindfulness practices and Jewish spiritual wisdom to prepare for an upcoming Jewish holiday. Upcoming dates: Har/Mountain - Thursday, May 29, 7-9:30 pm at MNjcc REGISTER Restorative Creativity (16+) - Saturdays: Jan 18, Feb 15, Mar 15, 2-4 pm Shabbat is a great time to slow down and get closer to the world around you, to engage your senses and your sense of wonder by observing and processing our experiences through mark- and art-making. Using the Jewish Studio Process, we’ll gather in textual inquiry and art-making, ground ourselves with restorative creativity, let our minds wander with materials in hand, and nourish ourselves with deep play. REGISTER Purim Comedy Show: Manger’s Megilleh - Thursday, Mar 20, 1:30-3 pm When the great Yiddish poet Itzik Manger created his famous Megilleh Cycle, he transported the Book of Esther characters from ancient Persia to his 1937 Warsaw. Borrowing from the medieval epic style, Manger integrated living folk poetry with a forgotten literary tradition, and his inclusion of additional characters added a brilliant comic/tragic element to the Purim story. During Manger’s lifetime, his poems were put to music and staged with great success in Tel Aviv in 1967. Janie Respitz brings these characters alive in a one woman show, complete with English narration and the original Yiddish songs. We’ll have humentashen and prizes for best costumes – so put on a Purim outfit and join in the fun! Generously co-sponsored by the UJA Committee for Yiddish. Presented in partnership with the Yiddish Vinkl and Grodzinski Bakery.

It's an aquatics centre (with a salt pool), as well as a fitness centre with over 75 exercise classes. It also hosts regular seasonal camps for kids The Best Indoor Swimming Pools in Toronto: Head to the Freddie Shore Aquatic Centre in this facility right across from Spadina station and you'll be treated to a fully-accessible heated saltw ater pool in the heart of downtown. yelp My whole family has been going to the Bloor JCC since we moved to Toronto many years ago. I now live in the area and spend a ton of time at the gym. It pretty much has it all: - nice facilities - a new basketball court - every type of weight and machine you could need - a saltwater pool - a great saltwater hot tub and wet and dry saunas. While not everyone lives in the neighbourhood, the JCC is perfectly located at Bloor and Spadina right on two subway lines. Most importantly the people who run the place and people I meet by chance are all great. The staff get to know people by name and are super friendly and I have made some good friends just randomly meeting people while working out. pursuit Toronto's Best Gyms: The JCC isn’t just old men sitting in a steam room, complaining. Downtown’s only saltwater pool, complete with three speeds of swimming lanes, makes it a go-to destination for serious swimmers. "How can we have this communal responsibility to meet individual needs? This taught me a lot to learn about conflicts of access...how can we make sure that everyone's access needs are being met?" - Emunah Woolf, LGBTQ at the J Listen “This is a crossroads of the Annex. It’s a crossroad of the TTC system as well. It’s incredibly central. It’s downtown, but not really downtown. It’s certainly not uptown, but everybody can reach us…I will say that there’s no accessible washroom on this strip of like Bloor Street…I don’t think that the Annex is accessible enough,” said Arbeid.

Read More I became aware of the wide range of amazing initiatives at different JCCs that create access points for people who historically have been excluded and underrepresented in communal spaces. I learned, for example, about JCCs that host wheelchair basketball and chair yoga; add closed captioning, video description, and/or ASL interpreters to their lectures and film programs; offer a cooling sprinkler at the end of each pool lane so folks with low vision or blindness will sense the drop in temperature and know they’re coming to the end of the lane; and how disability justice education is finding a home in early childhood education settings.
