The Canadian Yoatzot Initiative
About us
The Canadian Yoatzot Initiative (CYI) connects individuals in the Greater Toronto Area and across Canada who have halachic questions to a yoetzet halacha, a halachic advisor, who can offer knowledgeable and sensitive advice in a timely fashion. Questions can be discussed directly via phone, email or through our webform.
The Canadian Yoatzot Initiative is run under the auspices of Mizrachi Canada in their capacity as a leading organization in Canada which looks to add value and enhance the modern Orthodox and religious Zionist community in Canada.
