Scope & content
(Traduction à venir) Historic outline - Adath Yeshurun The Adath Yeshurun was established in about 1908 by Lithuanian Jews. Abandoning the original rented premises on St. Lawrence and Pine, the congregation built an impressive synagogue in 1916 at 4459 St. Urbain. With the movement of the community to post-war neighborhoods, a new synagogue was built in 1955 at 5855 Lavoie near the Jewish General Hospital. By the 1970’s the front of the building was marked by a lengthy name recalling and preserving the legacy of six congregations from the older neighbourhoods: Chevra Shas Adath Yeshurun Hadrath Kodesh Shevet Achim Chaverim Kol Israel d’Bet Avraham. Historic outline - Chevra Shaas Established in 1899, the Chevra Shaas has occupied five locations within the Montreal areas of Jewish settlement. The congregation was first housed on Cadieux Street (now de Bullion) near today's Old Montreal. In 1900 the synagogue moved to 1110 St. Laurent and later to 108 de la Gauchetière O. where it remained until 1920. In 1920 the congregation moved to a more impressive building constructed at 4170 St. Urbain. The synagogue became referred to by some as the “Paperman shul”, since it was across the street from Paperman's funeral home, housed at 4081 St.Urbain from the 1920s to 50s. Around 1970, the congregation joined an amalgamation of synagogues at 5855 Lavoie, and became a part of what would be called the Chevra Shaas Adath Yeshurun Hadrath Kodesh Shevet Achim Chaverim Kol Israel d’Bet Avraham. In 2005 this congregation of former Eastern European immigrants merged with the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue (Shearith Israel), the oldest congregation in Montreal and in Canada.
