About Us

Lake Ontario Region (LOR) brings together Jewish teens across the Greater Toronto area, creating a vibrant community rooted in connection, leadership, and Jewish life.

With chapters in Toronto, Vaughan, and Hamilton, teens participate in a wide range of experiences, including social events, leadership opportunities, and community impact initiatives. Programs are planned and led by teens, with support from dedicated advisors and staff.

LOR is committed to building a welcoming and inclusive environment where teens can form lasting friendships, grow as leaders, and strengthen their connection to Jewish identity and community.
