Special to The Jewish News
T
he sign outside
Greyfe's Bagel Bakery
reads, "Sorry, no
bagel. Sold out for today."
But hungry noshers need
not worry. Along one three-
block strip of Bathurst Street
in Toronto are stores selling a
smorgasboard of Jewish
delicacies.
At Chocolate Charm, the
miniature chocolate shofars
are kosher, Stroli's sells
kosher TV dinners; Joe
Kirschen stocks kosher meat
and fish; Kosher Express
features glatt-kosher foods to
go.
And that's not all. Across
the street, hot European
bagels are ready at My
Zaidy's Bagel Bakers. Nearby,
too, are Matt's Falafel House,
Murray's Deli, and the Milk
`n Honey Restaurant.
The abundance of ethnic
eateries is just one of the at-
tractions of Bathurst Street
in Toronto. This wide street
reflects the diversity of
Jewish life in the city with
Canada's largest Jewish
population.
Toronto's Jews, who number
125,000 in a population of
three million, are served by
over 50 synagogues,
numerous Jewish day schools,
and a full-facility Jewish com-
munity center.
They live in a cosmopolitan
city that's described as "New
York run by the Swiss"
because of its size, ethnic
diversity, and civilized,
sparkling clean modernity.
But while they enjoy the ur-
bane environment, the Jews
here prefer to live in their
own neighborhoods. Former-
ly, the clustered in the
Spadina-Kensington area.
But now, Jewish Toronto is
further north along Bathurst
Street.
For the Jewish traveler, a
trip up and down Bathurst
Street is a chance to see a
variety of Jewish sites. A
Judaica museum, The Jewish
community center, the
elaborate facade of Holy
Blossom Synagogue, kosher
butcher shops and dairy
restaurants — all are on a
street that captures the
essence of modern Jewish
Toronto.
The food strip is a good star-
ting point for touring
Bathurst Street. Not only is it
guaranteed to satisfy Jewish
appetites, but it also evokes
the ethnic flavor of this
neighborhood.
On one street lampost is an
ad for specially made sukkot
