This is not just a tour, its an experience. It was profound. Michael is amazing and a quintessential Jew. - Michael Wex is a gold mine. His Toronto Jewish Walking Tour through the Old Jewish Kensington Market neighborhood is a vibrant tour bringing the rich past history of this neighborhood, its people, culture and community back to life. Michael knows the history but also lived in its midst. Even more than the tour itself is Michael. A very humble and unassuming fellow sojourner and seeker in life. If you desire to explore or expand your knowledge and experience of authentic Jewishness or Jewish living and our Jewish ancestors that fled persecution and immigrated to the United States, come hang out with Michael. Michael can easily field general or specific questions about Jewish life, customs and teachings. He clearly has the learning, training and teaching acumen of the most famous and learned Rabbis. Arrange time for your small group to walk or just meet and sit down and talk. He is knowledgeable in the Torah; the Prophets; Jewish Traditions; the major and minor prophets; the Talmud; Midrash; Jewish history; famous commentators including Rashi, Maimonides and others; extremely knowledgeable in World Religions; and well versed and comprehends the Christian perspective and can respectfully share a completely authentic Jewish interpretation of it as any great professor should. Personally, I search for meaning in life, in my life. I question and wonder and marvel and fret over life. I grew up Jewish but in a very secular non-Jewish world. I didn’t know how Jewish I was until I went to work in L.A. at a Jewish law firm (Fischer, Krane, Jacobs and Kabat; and then Spolin Krane et al.) Michael helped me put greater depth and understanding to my human experience and in being Jewish. Michael did not ask me to write this and I did not know him prior to spending an hour and a half with him on his tour. I just found the time very profound and enthusiastically just want others to experience the same. Michael is a great non-intrusive resource to anyone desiring a deeper understanding and experience of what is authentically Jewish. In my book, he is the quintessential Jew. Does he Kvetch or maybe give you reason to Kvetch, sure, that’s what makes him the most perfect Jew. Is there any one way to be Jewish? Of course not. I think he would protest any description of himself of being any type of Jew, he is just jewish.
