Congregation Shaar Hashomayim, founded in 1846 and located in Westmount, Quebec, is Canada's oldest and largest traditional synagogue.
Welcoming Jews of all levels of observance, we are a vibrant Congregation that adheres to traditional Halacha (Jewish law). Our services feature beautiful music, stimulating learning and a powerful sense of community.
Our Congregation has a strong bond with the State of Israel - a bond that has been strengthened over the entirety of Israel's history. We teach and act upon a sense of responsibility for all members of the Jewish community and for all humanity.
Our facilities are alive seven days a week with a myriad of activities for all
ages: educational, social and musical.
There is something for everyone at the Shaar! We look forward to seeing you!
