Friars Briar: Rabbi Cory Weiss of Temple Har Zion in Toronto, Rabbi Michael Dolgin of Temple Sinai in Toronto, Temple Sinai Cantor Katie Oringel and Rabbi Jerry Steinberg of Temple B’Nai Shalom v’Tikvah in Ajax, Ont., have come to contest the Friars Briar, a slightly competitive curling bonspiel being played this week only a few hard takeouts from the Tim Hortons Brier going on in the far larger venue at TD Place, according to Globe and Mail. The Friars Briar is being held in a tiny curling rink surrounded by the white fairways of one of the city posher golf courses. Underneath, in smaller letters, in Hebrew, is a quote from Psalms 18:46: This is a catch-all ASF view; only displays when an unsupported article type is put in an ASF drop zone Blessed is my Rock. There is no Brier Patch for the drinkers, no television for the national audience, no media worth noting. Instead of provincial champions and semi-professional men teams, however, the Friars Briar is somewhat co-ed and open to priests and preachers who tend to be too busy on Sunday to take in weekend tournaments. The Friars Briar – spelling to be explained later – is an annual event that dates to 1978 and tries, whenever possible, to be held the same week in the same centre as the Canadian-championship Brier.
