About

You walk upstairs and feel the warmth as soon as you enter the small shul. People are saying to you ‘gut shabbos’ and ‘shabbat shaloms.’ You see people praying and it’s sincere, the singing is out of this world. You notice there are black kippahs on some heads,  colorful kippahs on other and no kippah on anothers. Yet they all are together and all enjoying the simcha with their fellow Jews.

A Gem in Thornhill’s Jewish Community

We are committed to Torah-based observance, the love of Jews and connection to the land of Israel. Our shul is made up of some 170 families some just starting a family, some with grown kids, some more observant, some less.

We laugh a lot, we celebrate holidays and simchas together. Our childrens’ milestones, and the adults’ learning accomplishments. Learning is something we do at a high level here, guided by accomplished Torah scholars. There are a lot of classes to join, ranging from basic how-tos of Jewish observance to the deeper answers we search for.

  • List and schedule of classes this week
  • List of prayer times and community events

The classes are open and encourage open and candid questions. You name it, and we will discuss it openly.

Not a fan. Extremely high cost of being a member. I have experience better Rebbes.

We were searching for a good shul where we can learn and grow in Torah and in Judaism and we found this gem. No talking during davening/Torah reading. singing is amazing. This is the shul for any Torah seeking Jew.

Great shul to daven in. Lots of kavana, and no talking until after davening or Kiddush! Rabbi and Rebbetzin always looking to learn & grow with the community. Great, friendly atmosphere on Shabbat: 3 Different minyanin, lots of singing, very special Shalosh Seudos in the dark. 'No one left behind' attitude, classes range from beginners 'learn to read Hebrew' and hashkafa, to advanced Gemara and Rambam Mishnah Torah. Worth checking out.

Westmount Shul is warm and inviting. I have attended shul there and classes. I love how there are Jews from all walks of life - we all feel comfortable there. The community and especially the Rabbi and Rebbetzin are so friendly and Rebbetzin Gail Michalowicz is just so fantastic- her classes are inspiring, fun and will make a difference in your life. Try the challah bake club - it is awesome!

Westmount Shul is the warmest and friendliest shul in the city. Rabbi Michalowicz is incredibly inspiring, and an unbelievable speaker and teacher. The Rebbitzen has boundless energy and is so warm and friendly.
