CANADA---A Middle Eastern Torah dating from the 10th to 12th century, a 14th-century Torah commentary by Rashi, and an early 15th-century manuscript of the Zohar that once belonged to the false Jewish messiah Shabbetai Tsvi are among the pieces on display in an exhibition of Judaica that opens Jan. 26 at the University of Toronto’s Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library.

The curator said the exhibit takes visitors through more than a thousand years of Jewish history and culture. It's a rare opportunity to discover a lot of things both Jews, and non-Jews hadn’t known about before. So, it's just one more reason to visit the wonderful city of Toronto.
