About this listing

First Canadian Place provides a vital space for prayer and reflection in the center of downtown Toronto. Located at 100 King St W, this shul serves the local professional community and visitors. It is an essential stop for those needing a midday minyan during the work week.

The synagogue follows the Nusach Sefard tradition. It offers a quiet environment for prayer amidst the busy pace of Canada's largest financial hub. Many professionals from nearby towers gather here for concentrated prayer services.

Easily accessible via the city's underground walkway system, First Canadian Place is a convenient choice for travelers. Its location ensures that maintaining a religious routine is possible even while working or visiting the city center.

About the area

The building stands at the corner of King Street West and Bay Street. This intersection is the core of Toronto's Financial District. It is one of the tallest office complexes in Canada.

Finding the Prayer Space

To reach the prayer area, you must enter the building and head to the concourse level. Use the designated elevator in the lower level concourse to reach the 33rd floor. Signage for office suites and building services helps guide the way.

This location is part of the PATH system. This massive underground network connects many downtown buildings. It allows you to walk to the shul from Union Station or other nearby towers without going outside. This is especially helpful during Toronto's cold winter months.

Nearby Jewish landmarks

The Financial District is connected to some of Toronto's most famous landmarks and services for Jewish travelers. Being in the heart of the city means you are near major transit hubs and historic sites.
