Anyone can sing a prayer to the melody of a showtune. The difference at The Song Shul is Cantor Simon Spiro and the Toronto Festival Singers with their new exciting a capella vocal arrangements. It brings a whole new dimension to the sound of our prayers!

The Song Shul does not have enough prayer books to accommodate the enormous crowds who join us at each Shabbat service. As a result we currently read from three different siddurim. But not for long! The Song Shul Special Edition Siddur is in the works. Our two leading sponsors—Steeles Memorial Chapel and Ron Lustig & Naomi Himel—have generously kicked off our Siddur Drive. Be a part of this mitzvah. Celebrate a simcha or commemorate a yahrzeit with a meaningful donation to our Siddur Drive. Contact info@songshul.com to discuss details.
