Adath Israel, officially the Adath Israel–Poale Zedek–Anshei Ozeroff Congregation ( Hebrew: ק״ק עדת ישראל–פועלי צדק–אנשי אזשעראוו), is an Modern Orthodox synagogue located in Hampstead, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal. Until 1980 it was located in the city of Outremont (now a borough of Montreal).
Adath Israel was established in 1930, initially situated in a rented space above a delicatessen on Van Horne Avenue in Outremont. [1] Construction of the congregation's permanent home at 899 McEchran Avenue began in 1939, and the synagogue was dedicated in 1940. [2] That same year, Charles Bender, formerly of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, became the congregation's first rabbi. [3]
In 1941, Adath Israel became the first synagogue in Canada to establish a Jewish day school—the Adath Israel School—which pioneered the Ivrit b'Ivrit method of Hebrew language immersion. [2]
The congregation moved to the suburb of Hampstead in 1981. In 1992, Adath Israel amalgamated with Congregation Poale Zedek (founded in 1910), [4] [5] and, in 2003, with Congregation Anshei Ozeroff (founded in 1918). [6] [7]
Adath Israel's original building at McEachran and Ducharme was designed by architects Milton Eliasoph and Henry E. Greenspoon. [8] Its Bauhaus-influenced modernist style represents a shift from traditional synagogue architecture in Montreal. [1] The building now houses the Saint Anthony the Great Monastery.
The synagogue's Hampstead building is noted for its 30 stained glass panels by Yehouda Chaki depicting Biblical themes. [9]
The following individuals have served, or are currently serving, in clerical roles in the congregation:
