BINA.

For over 40 years, Congregation BINA has been providing Indian Jewish families in the Greater Toronto Area a venue where they can come together for Festivals and social occasions.

New immigrants are welcomed by a community to which they can relate and within which they will be comfortable.

Congregation BINA also welcomes members from the wider Jewish community and may accommodate their requests, such as the addition of Yizkor in 1988 to the Yom Kippur morning service.

Cemetery plots are secured for members at Pardes Shalom and Pardes Chaim cemeteries.

Scholarships are awarded to students who wish to pursue higher education.

Congregation BINA’s history is detailed in the About Us drop down menu.
