Why We Are Different

The Beth Radom Congregation is a growing community of families co-operatively creating an environment of religious equality and spirituality.

The Beth Radom Congregation, a.k.a. the Radomer Shul, is Toronto's first Conservative synagogue which combines traditional and alternative approaches, services and customs with a spiritual davening experience. We are a child-friendly shul where women participate in our services and synagogue leadership. We welcome all to visit us and give us a try.

The Story of the Beth Radom Congregation

The Radomer Mutual Benefit Society in partnership with the B’Nai Radom founded the Beth Radom Congregation in 1962 in its present location at 18 Reiner Road, Toronto.

Chartered in 1925, the Radomer Mutual Benefit Society occupied a leading position in the Jewish Community of Toronto. The society was founded by a small group of Radomers. During the 1929 depression, the society founded the Relief Fund which conducted a successful campaign for the needy Jews of Toronto. As the activities of the organization grew, it acquired a building in 1932 located on Beverly Street.

The Radomer Benefit Society had a proud record of accomplishments. It provided considerable support to the city’s education institutions, welfare institutions, Jewish National Fund, Youth Aliyah, and the Canadian Red Cross.

B’Nai Radom was organized in 1950 by a group of survivors from Radom, Poland who settled in Toronto after World War II. The last generation to be born in Radom, they carried on the traditions of social and community work.

The Radomer Mutual Benefit Society and the B’Nai Radom founded the Beth Radom Congregation in 1962. The Beth Radom Congregation grew and in 1994 the building underwent renovation, the present sanctuary added.
