KEVIN & ILANA HEYMANN

Both born and raised in Toronto, Kevin and Ilana have been involved in Jewish informal and formal education and programming for most of their lives. Ilana has led three Birthright Israel trips and has been involved in many other Jewish and israeli advocacy programs on campus with Hillel and Aish. Ilana currently teaches at a private jewish girls high school in North York. Kevin studied in Yeshiva Lev HaTorah in Israel after high school and has volunteered with Chai Lifeline Canada for five years. Kevin currently works for a Hi-Rise real estate developer. The two of them are very excited to guide The Song Shul teens through innovative and fun programming during the High Holy Days!

Cantor Simon and Aliza Spiro guide us into the New Year with our fast-paced, relaxed, meaningful and unforgettable services. The Toronto Festival Singers provide the Signature Sound of The Song Shul, with a cushion of beautiful harmonies for our prayers. Aliza offers explanations throughout, completing this one-of-a-kind High Holy Day experience!

Coming with your kids?
We have babysitting for tots, children’s programs for the children, teen programs for teens, inspiration for all!
Children are invited to march in the Torah parade, and invited up close to hear the shofar.
And of course, there’s always The Song Shul Sticker Station to keep their eyes and hands occupied while they sit and listen to the beautiful music of the service!

Here's everything else you need to know!

Will there be a Livestream?

Our Livestream link will be sent to members before Rosh Hashanah. The stream will be set up for you to click before Yom Tov begins and it will carry through automatically for both days. No one needs to use electricity on Yom Tov.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The link you receive will be a one-time use link and can not be shared.

What about masks?

Masks are optional but encouraged. For those wishing to sit with only other masked guests, the balcony will be a “Masks Only” section.

What if I’m not a member?

Anyone is welcome to purchase individual tickets for specific services. Tickets are $180 per service, and every ticket-holder will also receive a link to the livestream of that particular service. Click here to purchase.

Note: If, after experiencing our renowned service, you decide that you would like to join The Song Shul, the cost of your ticket(s) will be applied to membership within 30 days of the High Holy Days.

What about the shofar?

In addition to hearing the shofar during the morning services, The Song Shul will have a special outdoor Shofar-Blowing on Monday, September 26th, and Tuesday, September 27th. Feel free to join us outside of the Meridian Arts Centre at 12:45 PM. (The service finishes at 12:30 but we allow time for people to exit carefully.) The shofar is loud so you can easily hear the blasts even while keeping your distance.

What about the machzor?

If you have your own prayer book, please bring it. We will also have copies of the Silverman machzor available at each service for 1-day use. There is no chance that what you touch will have been used by someone else the previous day.
