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, Willis

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 proudlyplayed leading roles in Michigan, the nation and 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,

transmitting Conservative Jewish teaching, dor l‘dor , from generation to

generation.

Congregation Shaarey Zedek is a warm, welcoming, inclusive and

egalitarian Conservative Jewish community. We provide to all generations

innovative, stimulating and diverse spiritual, educational, leadership

and social opportunities that nurture our love and commitment to

Jewish life, our Synagogue, our country and the State of Israel.Our spiritual direction is led by committed, knowledgeable and caring

clergy available to all.

Together, all participate in celebrating our history, enriching our

community and planning our future.
