You are invited to attend Toronto’s annual community-wide Pride Shabbat on Friday, June 20th, 2025. With queer and allied clergy leading a beautiful Kabbalat Shabbat service, a delicious kosher dinner, and opportunities to celebrate both our LGBTQ+ and Jewish identities, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
Pride Shabbat 2025 will take place at the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre, located at 750 Spadina Ave, where we will gather as a diverse Jewish community to celebrate our LGBTQ+ Jewish wholeness. This event is organized by a coalition of organizations who are committed to working towards LGBTQ+ inclusion in all aspects of Jewish life.
This event centers LGBTQ+ Jewish community members. Allies to both Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities are more than welcome to join us. Families are encouraged to bring children, with programming offered by Machane Lev during the service for those aged 7-17. Services will be led by Cantor Cheryl Wunch, Cantor Steve Zeidenberg, and Aviva Chernick.
Tickets cost $36 for adults and $18 for children. If this cost is prohibitive to your attendance, you are welcome to self-select from our barrier-free reduced-price options. We likewise invite those who are able to sponsor a community member’s attendance to offset the cost of their ticket. If the reduced fee still poses a barrier to your attendance, please reach out to
ZW11bmFodyB8IG1uamNjICEgb3Jn for further conversation.
We are committed to ensuring our programming is accessible to anybody who wishes to attend. The MNjcc is wheelchair accessible and has gender neutral washrooms. The Shabbat service portion of the evening will have ASL interpretation. We ask that folks who are not feeling well stay home and encourage attendees to wear masks whenever you are not eating. In consideration of the difficult moment we are in, this event will have peer support available if you need to step out and talk to somebody, and there will be a lower-sensory room for the duration of the meal, to reduce overstimulation. Please email
ZW11bmFodyB8IG1uamNjICEgb3Jn with any accessibility questions or requests and we will work together to find ways for you to join us.
