Our tabling sessions in various central locations at York are your one stop station for everything Jewish: Literature, program information, shabbat candles, tefillin wraps. Come join us for a schmooze. All are welcome.
Kabbalah — Jewish Mysticism — contains some of the most profound insights into the human condition. Join us every Wednesday and discover how this ancient wisdom helps us gain better clarity about what it means to be human, what the world is all about, and why we're here.
This class is a rich blend of discussion on the foundational pillars of Jewish thought, practice and history. Against a backdrop of "Ask the Rabbi", this session generates an open and thought provoking environment for study. Here's your chance to get answers on all the questions you were afraid to ask, or never even thought of. No question too petty and no dilemma too trivial.

Do you play pool? Perhaps you haven't in a while and would like to pick up the cue once again? Wondering what a nice Rabbi like me is doing playing pool? Well, wonder no more! Before coming to York, Vidal was professional pool player with over 20 years of experience. Having picked up his first pool cue at the age of 3, he was already a world champion at the age of 9....
Just kidding....
But seriously, if you're interested to play and schmooze, give me a call at 416.856.4575 and we can meet at the Campus Cove in York Lanes.
