Bagg Street Shul, Orthodox synagogue in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Canada
Bagg Street Shul is an Orthodox synagogue in Le Plateau-Mont-Royal in Montreal located in a red brick building at the corner of Clark and Bagg Streets. The structure provides seating for about 350 people with a main prayer hall and a balcony section.
The congregation purchased the original building in 1922 and relocated from their former location to serve Montreal's growing Jewish community. The structure itself dates to 1899 and later became a key gathering place for the community in this neighborhood.
The building contains a Torah ark, marble staircase, and chandeliers that shape its interior appearance. These elements create a dignified space for worship and community gathering.
Visiting is easiest on weekdays when fewer people are around, though Saturdays are the busiest days with regular services. It is advisable to check exact opening times before arriving and to follow the dress code.
This is the last operating Jewish house of worship among a dozen that once existed in the Plateau neighborhood of Montreal. This status makes it an important witness to the Jewish history of this district where the community shifted over time.
