History / Biographical
The Shaare Zedek Congregation was begun in 1951 as the Jewish Congregation of Western N.D.G. Established to meet the needs of those Jewish families moving to western Montreal, its other main priority was to set up a Hebrew elementary school. At first, both school and services were housed in temporary locations until land was purchased and a building constructed. The new building, on Chester in N.D.G., was ready in 1954; it was further expanded in 1962. In 1955, the school became affiliated with the United Talmud Torahs and is now rented as a day care centre. Started as an Orthodox synagogue, the congregation changed to the Conservative rite in 1955. The facade of the synagogue, added in 1985, depicts the Ten Commandments in blue neon lights.
