Meshech Chachmah

Institute of Adult Jewish Studies

Each year, our Mara D'Asrah, Rav Baruch Taub, and a cadre of qualified and committed volunteers, many of them educators, invest countless numbers of hours of preparation to provide an extensive and meaningful programme of Shiurim, opportunities for Jewish learning and Jewish thought, for BAYT members.

Over 500 men and women attend daily and weekly classes at all levels, interests and backgrounds. The learning of Torah has become a way of life in our wonderful community of Thornhill and our entire Kehilla has been enriched.

The curriculum and schedule described on this page serve as a warm and most sincere invitation to all. Join your neighbours and friends as we probe the magnificence of Torah together.
