Congregation Dorshei Emet, Reconstructionist synagogue in Hampstead, Quebec, Canada

The Dorshei Emet building features a rectangular exterior design with stained glass windows relocated from the original structure and includes a social hall, library, and offices.

Founded in 1960 by Lavy Becker as the Reconstructionist Synagogue of Montreal, the congregation constructed its first building in 1967 and expanded to a larger facility in 2003.

The Emet Gallery within the synagogue exhibits photography and multimedia art, focusing on artistic expressions through Jewish perspectives and interpretations.

The congregation maintains approximately 500 member households and provides spaces for religious services, educational programs, social gatherings, and community events.

In 2009, the congregation commissioned Jen Taylor Friedman as the first female scribe in Canada to write a new Torah scroll for the synagogue.
