Beth Israel Synagogue

Beth Israel Synagogue features wooden clapboard siding, rounded-arch windows, and interior walls covered with detailed wood paneling throughout the structure.

Jewish settlers from Lithuania via South Africa established this synagogue between 1906 and 1908, creating the Edenbridge Hebrew Colony in Saskatchewan.

The synagogue contains a second-floor balcony designed for female worshippers, following Orthodox Jewish traditions of gender separation during religious services.

The religious building stands 13.5 kilometers southeast of Gronlid, maintaining regular prayer services for the local Jewish community in Willow Creek.

This wooden structure holds the status of Saskatchewan's oldest existing synagogue, receiving municipal heritage designation in September 2003.
