Congregation Gemiluth Chassodim, Reform Jewish synagogue in Alexandria, Louisiana, US
The synagogue occupies a brick building on Turner Street, featuring a mid-century modern design with spacious offices, classrooms, and a central sanctuary.
Founded in 1859 by immigrants from Alsace, France, the congregation started as the Hebrew Benevolent Society of Rapides Parish to establish a Jewish cemetery.
The congregation maintains strong connections across central Louisiana, drawing members from Natchitoches, Leesville, Natchez, Winnfield, and Fort Polk for regular services.
The synagogue conducts Shabbat services every Friday at 6:00 PM, offering both in-person attendance and remote participation through Zoom and YouTube platforms.
The building, designed by congregation member Max Heinberg in the 1950s, contains a sanctuary that accommodates 350 people for religious gatherings and community events.
