Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue of Montreal, Orthodox synagogue on Saint-Kevin Avenue in Snowdon, Montreal, Canada
The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue of Montreal features interior decorations with Stars of David, zodiac signs, and natural motifs throughout its sanctuary space.
Established in 1768, this synagogue stands as the oldest Jewish congregation in Canada, beginning with gatherings in a room on St. James Street.
The synagogue combines traditions from Spanish, Portuguese, Iraqi, North African, and Ashkenazi Jewish customs in its religious services and community practices.
The synagogue serves over 700 families with daily prayer services, educational programs, and special observances coordinated through their administrative office.
The congregation donated the first Torah Scroll to the National Archives of Canada, which now travels across the country in exhibitions.
