History / Biographical
In 1950, with young Jews moving into the Cote des Neiges area, about 100 families organized themselves into a community group. They held services in members' basements under the name Beth Shira. In 1951, they purchased land for a synagogue - the High Holiday services were conducted in a tent set up on the vacant land. The congregation also adopted the name Beth Hamedrash Hagedol, one which went back to 1917 and represented a congregation soon to disband on Notre Dame. With a change in city planning, new land was bought on Mackenzie in 1952. The building was completed in 1953. There was further expansion in 1959, and the Orthodox congregation also purchased a cemetery for its members. In 1963, the synagogue amalgamated with the Tifereth Israel, in existence since 1928. They ran an afternoon school from 1965 which has since closed. Shifting and ageing populations have resulted in a shrinking membership, but the synagogue has been rejuvenated somewhat by the formation of the Congregation Sepharade de la Langue Français. The synagogue closed in Sept. 1985 and merged with Congregation Shomrim Laboken Beth Yehuda

History / Biographical
The Beth Aaron Congregation was founded after World War II in Park Extension. Originally known as the Jewish Community Association of Park Extension, the name was changed to Beth Aaron in 1952 with the opening of the new synagogue building. Rented space had been used previously. The synagogue was chartered in 1954, grew in membership, and ran an afternoon school. Shifting populations and emigration caused the Beth Aaron to merge with the Beth Israel of Cote St. Luc in 1986 and sell its own building. The Beth Israel Congregation was founded in 1965 as an offshoot of the Beth Hamedrash Hagodol Tifreth Israel. After meeting in a variety of locations in Cote St. Luc, the Jewish Conservative Congregation became the Beth Israel in 1967. Their first synagogue was in an apartment on Kildare, which was used until the building on Mackle, built on land purchased in 1966, was completed in 1971. A new addition was added in 1986 when the synagogue merged with the Beth Aaron to become the Beth Israel Beth Aaron Congregation, the third major Orthodox synagogue in the community.
