Harbord Village: A Jewish History
Rebecca Arshawsky
What are the stories that lie right under one of Toronto’s most layered urban neighbourhoods? How have they shaped over four generations of downtown Jewish community? Join me as we trace the memories of Harbord Village’s unique Jewish history, from food to faith to music, that defined the neighbourhood as we know it today.
Stops include memorable laneways, historic synagogues, and iconic institutions. Along the way, we’ll reflect on how Jewish life helped shape this corner of the city—and what traces still remain in its streets, storefronts, and stories.
