Welcome to Har El, The North Shore Centre for Jewish Life

We are your home for Judaism on the North Shore of Vancouver. We're here to help you explore your spiritual and cultural identity. We're building a warm, welcoming, inclusive, and open-minded Jewish home for all.

Staying connected during social distancing

During this time of advised social distancing, our building will be closed, but our community continues through our virtual connections!

Opportunities to connect:

We still will not have in person services this Saturday morning, but will have an abbreviated livestream from the sanctuary. This is in line with the guidance and rules we received from the province. We will begin at 10am, and the service will last about an hour.
