What are Shinshinim?

Shinshinim are Israeli high school graduates who have been hand-picked to dedicate a year of “global community service” in Toronto. These exceptional teens become an integral part of our community, and we welcome them into our homes, day schools, synagogues, and summer camps. Their presence helps strengthen our community’s relationship with Israel.

Are you interested in hosting our Shinshinim next year? Now is the time to start planning for our host families for the upcoming year.

Wondering what it’s like to host a Shinshin in your home? Have any questions?

As previous host families will tell you, this is a truly special way for you and your family to connect. The bonds created with these remarkable young individuals continue to impact the lives of the families who host them for years to come
