"Aish provides opportunities for Jews of all backgrounds to discover the beauty and meaning of their heritage in an atmosphere of open inquiry and mutual respect."
Aish Toronto is a branch of Aish HaTorah International 
, one of the leading Jewish educational movements in the Jewish world today with 26 branches spanning 5 continents.
Aish Toronto was founded in 1981, beginning in a 900 square foot basement office. Today Aish Toronto comprises a variety of inspiring educational programs as well as two learning centers.
The two Aish Learning Centres are partnered with two vibrant synagogues - The Village Shul and The Thornhill Community Shul. These two centers house communities that aspire to the Aish philosophy of learning, share Judaism in a non-judgmental way and promote the taking of responsibility for Jewish pride, Jewish unity and Israel.
Aish believes that Judaism has something to offer to todays’ Jews in all areas of his or her life. The cutting edge programs are upbeat, provocative, and contemporary. Aish Toronto’s AishCampus and Young Professional programs range from SpeedDating, Maimonides Leaders Fellowships, to Hasbara Fellowships. Through these vibrant programs hundreds of Toronto Jews of every age are given the tools, skills and confidence to fight the rampant anti-Israel bias found in our schools and media. Aish Toronto’s family programming, including the Jewish Family Institute and Aish Young Couples, addresses the Jewish approach to personal relationships, child rearing, ethics, and life cycle events.
Together with its supporters, Aish HaTorah is pro-actively meeting the challenges of ignorance and apathy towards Jewish identity. Through strengthening our Jewish spirit, legacy and heritage, Aish Toronto is ensuring a strong Jewish future for our children, our grandchildren, and ourselves.
