1963-2013<br />
I am delighted to extend my warmest greetings to everyone<br />
marking the 50th anniversary of Toronto’s <strong>Beth</strong> Torah Congregation.<br />
From its very beginnings in 1962, <strong>Beth</strong> Torah Congregation has<br />
served as beloved place of worship where families and individuals could come<br />
together to share their Jewish faith in a warm environment that blends tradition<br />
with modernity. This milestone offers a wonderful opportunity to reflect on your<br />
shared history, to recognize the efforts of your founders, and to reaffirm your<br />
commitment to remain a dynamic and inclusive place of worship and centre of<br />
Jewish learning for the future.<br />
I commend everyone associated with <strong>Beth</strong> Torah for your<br />
commitment to upholding your values of faith, heritage, and community. I am<br />
sure that you will continue to thrive for many years to come.<br />
On behalf of the Government of Canada, I wish you an enjoyable<br />
and memorable 50th anniversary celebration.<br />

Message from the Rabbi<br />
YEARS<br />
1963-2013<br />
every 50 th year our ancestors celebrated<br />
Yovel or Jubilee. in our tradition, passing a<br />
half century mark was worthy of a major<br />
celebration. the Yovel was a year of change<br />
and restoration, a year of family reunions<br />
and a national holiday. it was a time of<br />
reflection and rededication and the Jubilee<br />
cycle serves as a record of great milestones in<br />
Jewish history.<br />
as <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong> celebrates its fiftieth year, our Jubilee<br />
moment, we recall our founders and supporters who<br />
dreamt of and birthed our remarkable Congregation.<br />
We take time to celebrate the efforts and the<br />
extraordinary outcome of so many hopes. We are so<br />
grateful for the opportunity afforded us by their vision<br />
that has allowed us to rejuvenate their optimism and<br />
in the past decade “Complete the Dream” of a half<br />
century ago.<br />
Much has changed everywhere and yet at <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong><br />
the most important features of our shul have not. We<br />
have proved ourselves to be, despite rapid and sustained<br />
growth, warm, embracing, welcoming and accepting.<br />
the success we have experienced is entirely the result<br />
of many individuals who have collectively given of their<br />
hearts and souls to our synagogue and our<br />
gratitude extends to them and their families;<br />
their names adorn our beautiful shul for all<br />
time. the memory of those now departed,<br />
whose legacies are etched into the very<br />
essence of our synagogue stand before us as a<br />
testament to selflessness and generosity, their<br />
memory will forever be the blessing that gives<br />
us strength to carry on no matter how great<br />
the challenges.<br />
i could not be more proud of our congregation or<br />
more appreciative of the opportunity to serve my chosen<br />
role in our community. i have been blessed with a most<br />
meaningful opportunity and am so honoured to a part<br />
of this extraordinary celebration. i hope that i am<br />
privileged to be an old and proud rabbi at our next Yovel<br />
celebration along with my family and most wonderful<br />
shul family, in good health and fortune.<br />
הזה ןמזל ונעיגהו ונמיקו וניחהש<br />
so may it continue to be for many years, amen.<br />
Rabbi Yossi Sapirman<br />

Message from the Cantor<br />
6<br />
as Cantor of <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong>, i am very proud to<br />
be part of the synagogue’s 50th anniversary<br />
celebrations. i am very grateful for what<br />
<strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong> is—a family shul for everyone.<br />
having been with the synagogue for 13 years<br />
i have seen much change. the congregation<br />
has flourished due to some very basic but<br />
important principles:<br />
S treat everyone as an equal—everyone is meant to feel<br />
comfortable in their own levels of observance and<br />
beliefs<br />
S Cater to our youth—the youth are our most precious<br />
asset. By providing wonderful programming and<br />
activities, and engaging them in our services, the<br />
youth stay connected to the synagogue and become<br />
our future foundations for continuity and success<br />
S Be a true family shule—We pride ourselves in caring<br />
for one another, and treating members like family<br />
approximately 40 years ago, Cantor David<br />
Koussevitzky (z"l) was invited to <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong> for a special<br />
weekend to lead Friday night and saturday morning<br />
services, and conclude with a sunday evening<br />
concert. i was honoured to be asked to put<br />
a choir together and conduct for him. it<br />
was a highlight for me, but even back then<br />
i felt so comfortable in the shul. almost 30<br />
years later, i auditioned for the position of<br />
Cantor. i recall vividly once again how i was<br />
welcomed by members of the Board and<br />
congregants. i knew immediately that i had<br />
found a new home.<br />
this is what <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong> is all about. the shule has<br />
a glowing reputation in our community based on these<br />
tenets of kindness and respect for all.<br />
Yashar koach to our founding members who had the<br />
fortitude and foresight to begin this congregation. Yashar<br />
koach to the Boards, executives, and Committees that<br />
have guided the shule over the past 50 years. and of<br />
course, Yashar koach to you, our members who have<br />
made <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong> what it is today.<br />

Vision, Dreams, Dedication<br />
& Legacy<br />
as <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong> celebrates its 50 th anniversary<br />
and we look ahead to its next milestone, i<br />
cannot help but marvel at the enormous<br />
success of the last 50 years.<br />
it took the vision of a small group, our<br />
founders and keepers, to build a house<br />
of worship where their legacy has manifested itself<br />
from generation to generation. it can be seen in their<br />
portraits on the Presidents Wall, on the magnificent<br />
tree of Life outside our sanctuary and on the<br />
commemorative plaques and signage throughout our<br />
building.<br />
it also took the vision of an innovative and energetic<br />
young rabbi Yossi sapirman, whose appeal and wisdom<br />
built a community where all were welcomed. it can be<br />
said that, “hire him and they will come”, and they did,<br />
by the scores.<br />
With the moving and melodic voice of<br />
Cantor and Choir Director David Young,<br />
<strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong>’s adult and children’s choirs have<br />
uplifted the congregation with their stirring<br />
music.<br />
We also have a flourishing hebrew school<br />
directed by amy goldsweig, who has helped<br />
contribute to the youthful energy and zeal<br />
that pervades the synagogue.<br />
it took the vision of a dedicated group of members<br />
to forge ahead and lay the foundation for a building<br />
addition to accommodate our growing waiting list of<br />
families anxious for membership.<br />
“Completing the Dream” became “a Dream<br />
Completed” and our 500 families finally had a home<br />
where all could be accommodated comfortably. it took<br />
five decades to accomplish this feat, but today we are the<br />
envy of congregations across the greater toronto area.<br />

Message from the Chair<br />
8<br />
as Chair of the 50th anniversary<br />
Committee, i would like to welcome you to<br />
our gala “an affair to remember: Drink,<br />
Dance and games of Chance”. <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong><br />
has experienced an amazing journey during<br />
its five decade existence. the shul has evolved<br />
from a small group of local families who<br />
davvened in a tiny portable, to a dynamic<br />
and growing congregation with more than<br />
500 families lead by an energetic and inspiring group of<br />
clergy and staff.<br />
the germination of the anniversary gala concept<br />
emerged from a brainstorming session involving the<br />
rabbi, harold Wolkin and myself about a year ago.<br />
the committee was formed last summer and since that<br />
time the members have made a substantial contribution<br />
towards the success of this event. the entire team<br />
devoted a great deal of energy and creativity towards<br />
developing a Mad Men- type theme with the goal of<br />
transporting our guests back in time through the use<br />
of retro décor, music from that era, specialty cocktails,<br />
casino games and scrumptious hors d’oeuvres supplied<br />
by the Park hyatt.<br />
i would like to extend my gratitude to<br />
stuart gerskup for completing all of the<br />
design work for the event. in turn, iain<br />
Mcilveen and sari gorman deserve special<br />
mention for producing an inspiring menu<br />
and cocktails that mesh with our theme and<br />
should please the sophisticated palates of<br />
our guests. i would also like to thank our<br />
marvelous event planner, Fern Cohen, for<br />
orchestrating it all and smoothing out the ruffles. Finally,<br />
the <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong> staff should be acknowledged for the<br />
support that they provided to the committee throughout<br />
the process.<br />
<strong>Beth</strong> <strong>torah</strong>, you are looking incredibly energetic<br />
and youthful for a 50-year-old, thanks to the vitality of<br />
your volunteers, clergy and staff and especially due to<br />
the major reconstruction work that you were treated to<br />
several years ago! We should all be so lucky.<br />
on behalf of my committee, i would like to wish the<br />
shul a hearty Mazel tov on this momentous milestone!<br />
