History
Congregation Beth David (Hebrew: בית דוד), also known as the Rumanishe Shul (Yiddish: רומענישע שול, lit. 'Romanian Synagogue') was founded by Romanian Jewish immigrants in 1886. It was apparently named after the father of its first president, David Elimelech Pinsler.[2] Between 1890 and 1929 the congregation was located in the former building of Congregation Shearith Israel at 89 Chenneville Street, after which it relocated to a former church at 422 St. Joseph Boulevard.[1][3] It absorbed the Galician synagogue Kehal Yeshurin in 1957 and Russian synagogue Beth Itzchak in 1959, both founded in 1904.[4][1][5]
Congregation Tifereth Jerusalem (Hebrew: תפארת ירושלים), also known as the Rossland Jewish Synagogue, was founded by Russian Jewish immigrants in 1904. It merged with the Jewish Community of Eastern Côte St. Luc & Hampstead in 1962, and with Beth David in 1965.[1]
