- Administrative History
- The University of Toronto Menorah Society (1917) was founded on 11 October 1917, as a constituent of the Intercollegial Menorah Society formed at Harvard in 1906. Its purpose, as stated in the Torontonenensis Yearbook of 1918, was “to study Jewish history and culture and modern Jewish life and thought.” The Menorah Society was non-sectarian and open to members of the university of any faith.
During its tenure the Menorah Society published the Menorah Journal and the Menorah Mentor magazine. Bi-weekly meetings held at the University YMCA featured lectures by prominent speakers, or student forums, and had an average attendance of two hundred people. The Menorah Society organized study circles, debates, annual plays, a “smoker” (party for men only), teas, and dances. It also maintained a Jewish Collection at the University Library. As Greek-letter fraternities proliferated at the University in the 1920s, the popularity of the Menorah Society waned, and it dissolved in 1931.
The University of Toronto Menorah Society grew out of a series of organizations for Jewish students at U of T in the early twentieth century, a Toronto Hebrew Students’ association and a Yiddish club. Both these organizations and the Menorah Society were Predecessors of Hillel.

- The Menorah Society grew out of the Yiddish Club at the University of Toronto in 1917. The had a semi-official status and superseded most of the other Jewish student groups. Most often they met off campus, but they did have a faculty advisor named Professor W. R. Taylor, who taught Hebrew at University College. The society was a branch of an intercollegiate Jewish society formed at Harvard in 1906 for the study of Jewish history and culture. In Toronto, they flourished until it was undermined by the Greek-letter fraternities in the late 1920s. It dissolved in 1931.
