Volunteer-run as a non-profit charitable organization, the Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto provides a forum for the exchange of genealogical knowledge and information with our members and the community at large.
The Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto (JGS Toronto) (originally known as The Jewish Genealogical Society of Canada (Toronto)) had its beginnings in 1985 with a small group of avid genealogists and family historians interested in continuing the exploration of their family roots and history.
A few historical highlights:

The 2011 book commemorating 25 years of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Canada - Tracing Our Roots, Telling Our Stories
Our Society’s library collection of research and historical information is second to none for a local genealogical society and is now housed at the Reference Library of the Toronto Public Library system. Our Speakers Bureau and community outreach present workshops and how-to classes throughout the GTA (and beyond) at synagogues, seniors’ residences, schools, community groups, and associations.
Much of the information reflected on today was garnered from past issues of Shem Tov, the voice of the JGS Toronto, the JGS Toronto website, meeting minutes, and memories of our members. We thank our founders for their foresight in creating the Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto as they looked backward to discover their ancestors and heritage and also looked forward to preserving the past for the future.
JGS Toronto is presenting MyHeritage Genealogy Expert, Daniel Horowitz, in a series of 8 genealogical webinars every Thursday at 10 am EST.
Daniel will speak about MyHeritage’s new features and other genealogy topics as he guides beginners and experts alike to the joys of family genealogical research, helping them discover their own heritage and history. There is no cost for these webinars. The link to join us is at:

Mel Fishman is the President of The Jewish Genealogical Society of Toronto (JGS Toronto).

Thank you for choosing TheJ.Ca as your source for Canadian Jewish News.
We do news differently!
Our positioning as a Zionist News Media platform sets us apart from the rest. While other Canadian Jewish media are advocating increasingly biased progressive political and social agendas, TheJ.Ca is providing more and more readers with a welcome alternative and an ideological home.
We revealed the incursion of anti-Israel progressive elements such as IfNotNow into our communities. We have exposed the distorted hateful agenda of the “progressive” left political radicals who brought Linda Sarsour to our cities, and we were first to report on many disturbing incidents of Nazi-based hate towards Jews across Canada.
But we can’t do it alone. We need your HELP!
Our ability to thrive and grow in 2020 and beyond depends on the generosity of committed readers and supporters like you.
Monthly support is a great way to help us sustain our operations. We greatly appreciate any contributions you can make to support Jewish Journalism.
We thank you for your ongoing support.
Happy reading!
