CONGREGATION SHAAREY ZEDEK HISTORY In 1861, at the beginning of the Civil War, seventeen followers of

Traditional Judaism withdrew from the Beth El Society in Detroit to found

the “Shaarey Zedek Society.” In 1877 the membership constructed the

first building in Detroit to be erected specifically as a synagogue at

Congress and St. Antoine. Over the years, Congregation Shaarey Zedek

has been located in a number of beautiful and picturesque buildings.

These include Winder between St . Antoine and Beaubien Streets, Will is

Street E and Brush, and Chicago Boulevard and Lawton which is still

standing. At the 100th annual meeting of the Congregation on April

12, 1961, more than 700 members approved the recommendation from

the Board of Directors that a new synagogue be built on a forty acre

site in Southfield Township. Since the 19th century, members of our

congregation have proudly played leading roles in Michigan, the nationand throughout world Jewry. For more than 150 years, Congregation

Shaarey Zedek has been a house of prayer, a house of learning, and a

community gathering place, t ransmitting Conservative Jewish teaching,

dor l‘dor , from generation to generation.

Congregation Shaarey Zedek is a warm, welcoming, inclusive and
