Anshei Minsk, Byzantine Revival synagogue in Kensington Market, Canada
The Anshei Minsk Synagogue features twin towers, a grand entrance stairway, and a central stained glass window oriented towards Jerusalem.
Jewish immigrants from Belarus established this religious center in 1912, and the current brick building was completed in 1930.
Daily prayer services maintain Orthodox Jewish traditions, with Rabbi Shmuel Spero leading the congregation through religious ceremonies and meals.
The synagogue opens at 7:40 AM for morning prayers and continues activities throughout the day at 10 St Andrew Street.
This synagogue remains the single Orthodox Jewish congregation maintaining daily prayer services in downtown Toronto since the late 1980s.
