Caplansky's Delicatessen

Caplansky's Delicatessen is a delicatessen in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It originated in 2007 in a room in the Monarch Tavern on Clinton Street which Zane Caplansky rented as a venue to make and sell house-cured hand-cut smoked meat sandwiches and knishes. The venture was successful and in 2009, Caplansky opened his eponymous full service delicatessen located at 356 College Street near Kensington Market. Caplansky's opened a food truck, named "Thunderin' Thelma", in 2011, which travelled to various events and locations in the city to sell food on the street.In 2013, Caplansky's launched a line of mustards in grocery stores and specialty shops across Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. Caplansky's received worldwide publicity the next year when it sponsored the Toronto Palestine Film Festival.In August 2014, Caplansky's opened a franchise at Pearson International Airport. Another location opened in Toronto's Yorkville area.In 2016, Caplansky's sued its College Street landlord after the landlord padlocked the premises after declaring the Caplansky's lease to be terminated due to a dispute over repairs. A month later, the Ontario Superior Court validated the lease and returned "exclusive possession" of the premises to Caplansky's, ordering the landlord to allow Caplansky's to resume operations.On January 3, 2018, Zane Caplansky announced the closure of the College location stating that business had never recovered from the 2016 interruption of business. Caplansky's also faced mounting legal costs due to continuing disputes with the landlord. Caplansky's Yorkville location closed suddenly on January 31, 2018 after, frustrated by only breaking even, Caplansky's partner in the Yorkville location bought out the lease and terminated it.Since its College location's closure, the store was renovated and has become the flagship store for a world famous Japanese confectionery store by the name of LeTAO who sells cheesecakes, chocolates, and cookies all flown in from Hokkaido, Japan. LeTAO with its tagline of "Nostalgic Modern" transformed the space, refinishing the century old Italian Terrazzo floors and refurbishing the Toronto famous brick walls. LeTAO has since closed as well.The airport location, which is owned by HMSHost and licences the Caplansky's name, remains in operation, while the food truck is no longer operating and has been sold.In 2019, Caplansky's launched a food stand at the Rogers Centre and re-launched a line of mustards, selling them online.

Congregation Shir Libeynu

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.
