The Toronto Hebrew Benevolent Society, the oldest Jewish mutual benefit society in Ontario, and possibly in Canada, has been serving the needs of its members for more than a century.
Today, the benevolent society has more than 200 members, both men and women, who meet at least four times a year to hear speakers and to discuss philanthropic endeavours. THBS supports many Jewish and non-Jewish charities.
THBS provides members in good standing the rights to burial plots and maintains its cemetery properties.
THBS supports Beit Halochem, which helps disabled veterans in Israel; the Canadian Cancer Society; the Heart and Stroke Foundation; the Israel Cancer Research Fund; Jewish Family & Child; the United Jewish Appeal; the United Way; hospitals and more.
We welcome everyone, particularly people who are not affiliated with a synagogue or do not have a cemetery property.
