The Minsk is located in Kensington Market, Toronto. It is the last remaining downtown fully orthodox shul with daily services.

  2. Fine looking entrance, and it looks like someone had a party here with that balloon.

  3. These old building has amazing charm and details. I like the post processing, the bricks and door pop just the right amount.

  4. Looks like a grand old building that could use a little TLC. We have no orthodox shuls here; we have two reform synagogues, though. This is Baptist country...Southern Baptist, independent Baptist, all kinds of Baptists.

  5. It has a very traditional look to it. Most of the Synagogues here are all modern structures.

  6. All sorts of denominations/religions seem to be shutting places of worship - this one looks to be built to last.

  9. 1930. Boy! I bet that was a tough time to begin building a synagogue. Or did the Great Depression not hit Canada like it did the U.S.?

  10. Like the doors and the wood I presume between the windows needs attention, let's hope it's not left too late.

  11. It's quite a solid looking building. I thought that balloon was an inside out umbrella at first glance. It's a nice touch!
