THE ALBERT AND TEMMY LATNER FOREST HILL JEWISH CENTRE IS THE CULMINATION OF A DREAM THAT BEGAN WHEN THE LEADERSHIP OF OHR SOMAYACH INTERNATIONAL, BASED IN JERUSALEM, ENVISIONED A PLACE IN FOREST HILL FOR MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TO CELEBRATE JEWISH LIFE AND EXPLORE THE WISDOM OF TORAH TOGETHER. IN THOSE EARLY DAYS, WITH THE GUIDANCE, INSPIRATION AND SUPPORT OF RABBI NOTA SCHILLER, THE DEAN OF OHR SOMAYACH INTERNATIONAL, AN EARLY MORNING WEEKDAY LEARNING AND MINYAN PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED THAT QUICKLY FLOURISHED WITH MORE THAN 50 DAILY PARTICIPANTS. SOON AFTER, RABBI ELIE AND REBBETZIN RIFKY KARFUNKEL WERE INVITED TO TAKE THE PROGRAM TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND BUILD A FULL SERVICE SHUL AND CENTRE. THE REST, AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY.
TODAY, THE ALBERT & TEMMY LATNER FOREST HILL JEWISH CENTRE IS A LANDMARK THAT HELPS NURTURE JEWISH IDENTITY THROUGH INSPIRATION.
THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IS MODELED AFTER THE GREAT SYNAGOGUE IN JASLO, POLAND, WHICH WAS BUILT IN 1905 AS A CENTRE FOR ALL FACETS OF COMMUNITY LIFE.
THE SYNOGOGUE WAS DESTROYED BUT THE GLORIOUS JEWISH TRADITION IT REPRESENTED HAS SURVIVED AND THRIVES. THIS VIBRANT BLOSSOMING JEWISH FUTURE IS NOW EXPRESSED EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR IN THE FOREST HILL VILLAGE.
THE ALBERT & TEMMY LATNER FOREST HILL JEWISH CENTRE ENSURES THAT THE LEGACY OF THE GREAT SYNAGOGUE AND JEWISH COMMUNITY IS NEVER FORGOTTEN.
FROM THE CLASSROOMS, TO THE BALLROOM, TO THE ROOFTOP WEDDING TERRACE, THE FOUR LEVEL BREATHTAKING BUILDING IS METICULOUSLY DESIGNED FOR THE MOST JOYFUL OF EXPERIENCES.
THE WELL-STOCKED LIBRARIES, MODERN MULTIMEDIA CLASSROOMS AND DAILY SANCTUARY GIVE JEWS OF ALL AGES A PLACE IN WHICH TO REFLECT ON OUR HERITAGE AND OUR FUTURE.
THE LIGHT THAT STREAMS THROUGH OUR WINDOWS DOES MORE THAN ILLUMINATE THE MAIN SANCTUARY – IT EXPRESSES THE WARMTH AND SHINING SPIRIT OF THE ALBERT & TEMMY LATNER FOREST HILL JEWISH CENTRE.
