The hall: room for 130
The hall and kitchen are downstairs from the sanctuary. Families use them for a berit mila, a bar mitzvah lunch, a Shabbat hatan, a nahala, or a Friday night dinner that has outgrown the dining room at home.
| Hall reservation | Rate |
|---|---|
| Members, their children and grandchildren | $300 |
| Friday night only | $150 |
| Friday night and Shabbat day | $400 |
| Non-membersCatered events only. Friday night is not available. | $500 |
| CleaningAdded to every booking. | $100 |
To book: half is due as a deposit when you reserve, and the balance two weeks before the event. Call (416) 633-1874 or write to tiferetisrael18@gmail.com with your date.
The kitchen
Members may rent the kitchen for $35 a day, plus cleaning. For non-members it is available for warming food only.
- Tell us before you bring food in. A mashgiah must be present to check every ingredient, so the person in charge needs notice before anything arrives at the synagogue.
- No dairy in the kitchen. Dairy products may not be brought into it, and the synagogue has no dairy utensils. A dairy breakfast can be served outside the kitchen on disposable tablecloths that you supply, and the leftovers must be thrown out outside the kitchen as well.
- Bring your own tableware. The synagogue does not provide tablecloths, dishes or cutlery.
- Serving liquor? You will need a Special Occasion Permit.
- Take leftovers home by the day after your event. After that, we will dispose of them.
- If something breaks, the person who rented the kitchen replaces it.
One more thing
Donations pledged by your guests when they are called to the Torah are gifts to the synagogue. They cannot be counted toward the cost of renting the hall.
