Congregation Agudath Shalom
Congregation Agudath Shalom, Romanesque Revival synagogue in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
The Congregation Agudath Shalom features intricate wall frescoes, ceiling paintings, and a carved Torah Ark created by San Katz in the 1920s.
The present synagogue building was constructed in 1909, following the great fire of 1908 that destroyed one-third of Chelsea's structures.
The synagogue represents Jewish heritage in Chelsea, where one-third of the population practiced Judaism during the early twentieth century.
The religious institution maintains regular services under Rabbi Lila Kagedan, who leads the congregation at 145 Walnut Street.
The National Register of Historic Places recognized this synagogue in 1993, marking it as the oldest surviving Jewish house of worship in Chelsea.
