The Canadian Jewish News Highlights JKG as Toronto Families Seek Jewish Community
A recent piece in The Canadian Jewish News explores how Jewish families across Greater Toronto are actively seeking out part-time Jewish education for their kids, driven by a desire for community, belonging, and Jewish identity in an increasingly uncertain climate. Supplementary school enrollment in the greater Toronto area has nearly doubled from its pandemic low, and the demand shows no signs of slowing down.
Among the programs highlighted is JKG's Jewish After School Accelerator (JASA). Temple Sinai Congregation of Toronto was selected through JASA's competitive application process and is set to launch a weekday after school program this fall, marking an exciting milestone as the JKG model takes root in Canada. The article touches on what makes the after school approach distinct: built-in transportation, daily consistency, and a curriculum designed around living Judaism rather than just teaching it.
