Housed in its own building and serving an increasing number of singles and unaffiliated Jews as well as established members of the community, Kolel became a significant and singular presence on the Jewish educational scene of Toronto.
In 2011, Goldstein retired from Kolel to found a new Reform synagogue in downtown Toronto, City Shul.
