Congregation Agudath Achim

The first services of this Congregation were held in the private home of Meyer Held on St. Patrick Street. In 1902 they began to hold their services at a location on Rideau Street. The first services in the new location were officiated by Rabbi Joseph Berger and Rev. Louis Doctor.

In 1912 the Congregation moved to a new building at 417 Rideau Street. The cornerstone ceremony took place on July 1, 5672 (1912) and was laid by Israel Sugarman. In 1956 the Congregation merged with Congregation Adath Jeshurun to become Congregation Beth Shalom. The former synagogue was demolished in 1956.
