This is the 1st in a series of shots taken inside a few of the buildings made available to the public during the recent "Open Doors Toronto" weekend. This event allows the public into many building which may not normally be open to the general public.
This Jewish congregation is in Toronto's Junction neighbourhood, and was opened in 1911. It is a modest building with minimal exterior ornamentation and few grand architectural details. Shown here is a view towards the ark, or aron kodesh, housing the Torah scrolls (visible) against the east wall, ensuring that the congregation always faces towards Jerusalem, in accordance with Jewish religious law.
