Welcome to
Vancouver
A modern and vibrant Torah observant community
“We couldn’t imagine raising
our family anywhere else.”
“We moved to Vancouver from Israel in 2016, and we LOVE the community here. Our daughters have such a strong sense of belonging, and love being part of a diverse and warm community. We couldn’t imagine raising our family anywhere else.”
Shloimy and Rachel Gabay
Making the move just got easier.
Joining a new community just got easier.
Starting a new life in a new city can be challenging. Joining a new Orthodox community can be even more confusing. We understand that. For some, it means starting from scratch making new friends, choosing new schools, finding a job, joining a shul, getting a driver’s license, or even finding that unique chalav Yisrael kosher pizza.
Why Torah West?
Torah West was created to revitalize the local Torah observant community and to assist newcomers in all of the stages of your move; before you arrive, upon arrival and during your first years here. Torah West is a collaboration of all the Torah observant community institutions and schools.
We are here

We are here to walk you through the whole process and absorb your family into our warm community. Moving here doesn’t have to be daunting. Our expert team is ready to listen to and evaluate your needs, and connect you with specific government agencies and Jewish organizations to make your transition to a new country as smooth as possible.
“Our vision is to create a growing, vibrant and welcoming Orthodox Jewish community”
