A Jewish organisation aimed at young professionals and Jewish youth has purchased a site in Temple Fortune, with plans to turn the building into “a beacon for the community.”
TAL — Torah Action Life — founded nine years ago by Rabbi Jonathan Tawil, has bought the site of the former Delisserie restaurant, which closed last year.
Speaking to the JC, Rabbi Tawil said the plan was for the organisation’s community centre to open “within a year” and that it would offer “different types of events, everything from cooking to ulpan to shiurim, bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah programmes and a place for students to come and do their work”, as well as “a whole array of innovative ideas that the community hasn’t yet seen.”
Last week, he said, TAL had seen “its 49th engagement” between participants.
