Mazel Tov <strong>Beth</strong> Torah<br />

on Fifty Wonderful Years<br />

You have enriched the lives of so many and<br />

continue to do so every day!<br />

Congratulations.


YEARS<br />

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 />

OTTAWA<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 />

1963-2013<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 />

Allen Gerskup, President<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 />
