OBS

The Pride of Israel Sick Benefit Society was founded in 1905 [...] in downtown Toronto by a group of caring Jews to aid their fellows. If a person was ill, the society would provide a doctor and send the patient money to tide them over until they recovered. [...] [Their] roots provide a foundation built upon chesed, kindness and caring, the spirit of which is very much alive and well today in the organization. The Pride of Israel pioneered the Kosher Food Bank in Toronto, and has diverse programming during the year. Today the shul provides a traditional conservative service, and is independent.
