Morris Winchevsky School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Morris Winchevsky School (founded in 1928) is a supplemental Jewish school in Toronto, Canada. The focus of the curriculum is on strengthening ties to Jewish culture and heritage within a secular humanist framework. Key focuses are Tikkun Olam and social justice. The school's curriculum is intended to instill in students an appreciation of Yiddishkayt (Yiddish language and culture) as well as the culture of Jews around the world. The school operates from September to June on Sunday mornings from 10 AM – 12:30 PM.
The Morris Winchevsky School and the Winchevsky Centre are affiliated with the United Jewish People's Order which sponsors a number of progressive secular Jewish institutions such as Camp Naivelt and the Toronto Jewish Folk Choir.
The Whinshevsky Shule was originally located at 414 Markham Street in the west end of Toronto. The Jewish community moved north along Bathurst Street following World War II prompting the shule to move in 1960 to its current location, the Winchevsky Centre at 585 Cranbrooke Street in the Bathurst and Lawrence Avenue area.[1]
