Shomrei Neshama Minyan

Shomrei Neshama is a mask-required, egalitarian, diasporist minyan (Jewish prayer community) in Toronto, Ontario. Services hosted by Shomrei Neshama are intended for those who are disabled, chronically ill, or simply prefer to wear a mask to avoid illness.

Services are led in a meditative style akin to Kohenet and/or Renewal. Our minyan is also LGBTQ-affirming, welcoming to Jews of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, to Jews from interfaith families, and to non-Jewish partners and family members.

Shomrei Neshama is a organizational signatory of Jews for Food Aid for People in Gaza.
