Congregation Shir Libeynu is a liberal, unaffiliated, egalitarian, intentionally LGBTQ+-inclusive synagogue based in downtown Toronto. Formerly led by Rabbi Aviva Goldberg until her retirement in 2019, its current spiritual leader is Cantor Cheryl Wunch. The congregation was founded by Aviva Goldberg, Dinah Rosen, Adrienne and Myra Rosenwhite, and Erica Goodman who wanted to create a "welcoming and inclusive synagogue for LGBTQ+ Jews and interfaith couples and families." Shir Libeynu held its first service in 1997 with 75 people coming to its first High Holy Day services, held at the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). It has since expanded to holding monthly services as well as on Jewish holy days such as Yom Kippur, Chanukah and Purim, and has held an annual Pride service in June since 2007, the first congregation in Toronto to hold a Pride service. In 2012, Goldberg told the Canadian Jewish News: "We started out with about 75 people who came to our services... There are now about 300 who come to our High Holiday services." She added that: "We're a congregation of people who want to be at shul, and we feel comfortable in all aspects of our lives. I mean that from a sense of pride, but I also mean that they can be all of who they are when they come to the synagogue." Shir Libeynu does not have its own building but holds services in a rented space close to the Kensington Market neighbourhood. The congregation previously has held services at Cecil Street Community Centre (which had formerly been the Anshei Ostrovtzer Synagogue), and the Miles Nadal Jewish Community Centre in Downtown Toronto. The congregation has its own section in Beit Olam, the Jewish cemetery at Glenview Memorial Gardens in Woodbridge, Ontario, which allows interfaith couples to be buried together.

Palmerston Boulevard is a residential street located in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, two blocks west of Bathurst Street, between Koreatown and Little Italy. Bounded by stone and iron gates both at Bloor Street and College Street, lined by symmetrically placed cast-iron lamps and canopied by mature silver maple trees, Palmerston is one of Toronto's finest residential streets. The name Palmerston continues south as Palmerston Avenue from College Street to Queen Street. Formerly called Muter Street, the street's name was changed to Palmerston at the turn of the 20th century, as it was developed. Muter Street was named after Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Muter of the Royal Canadian Rifle Regiment. Palmerston was named after Lord Palmerston, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, perhaps to promote Victorian ideals to future Torontonians.Most of the houses on Palmerston Boulevard were built between 1903 and 1910. An architectural analysis of the Boulevard was published in 1982. Palmerston Boulevard: An Evaluation of a Unique Residential Street written by landscape architects Brown+Storey covers the evolution of the street, its landscape, built form, critical evaluation of renovations, and key landscape items such as trees, porches, street lights and the gates. It also contains a comparison of Toronto streets built around the same time with Palmerston compared to Indian Road, St. George Street and High Park Boulevard. Brown+Storey place great emphasis on Palmerston's trees and lamps - "The trees and street lamps define the space of the Boulevard as a passage."The grandest house on the street is #469, the George Weston Mansion, built on 1.5 lots. Weston died in 469 Palmerston Boulevard on April 6, 1924. Former Mayors of Toronto Horatio Hocken and Samuel McBride lived at #340 and #351 respectively. Palmerston Boulevard was initially a wealthy Anglo-Saxon enclave. From the 1920s to the 1950s, the street was made up primarily of middle- and upper-middle-class Jews who were often excluded from elite WASP neighbourhoods. In the 1960s, some of the houses were subdivided into rooming houses that served university students.
