An Historical Sketch of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim
|
| Abstract |
Montreal's Congregation Shaar Hashomayim was founded in 1846 by English, German and Polish Jews. The Congregation held its first meetings in a rented room on St. James Street. On July 12, 1859, the cornerstone of the first Ashkenazic synagogue in British North America, Congregation Shaar Hashomayim, was laid at 41 St. Constant (now de Bullion Street), just below de la Gauchetière. The services were modeled after the Bayswater Synagogue in London, England. On October 21, 1885, the cornerstone for a new synagogue was laid on McGill College Avenue. In June 1920, Shaar Hashomayim procured land at Kensington Avenue and Côte St. Antoine in Westmount for a new synagogue and in 1921 the cornerstone of the current synagogue was laid.
