In an article in The Times of Israel, Rabbi Steve Wernick, Beth Tzedec’s senior Rabbi, said "extensive" filming took place at Conservative Synagogue in York during a six-week shoot.

He said, “They filmed in our chapel, in the gym for one of the bat mitzvah party scenes, in the religious school gift shop, the rabbi’s office.”

A hairdressing boutique called The Beehive Hair Studio, 175 Lakeshore Road East, Oakville was another authentic location used in the movie, according to the website Readysteadycut.com.
