CONGREGATION SHAAREY ZEDEK HISTORYIn 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 beauti ful and picturesque

buildings. These include Winder between St. Antoine and Beaubien

Streets, Willis St. E and Brush, and Chicago Boulevard and Lawton which

is still standing. At the 100th annual meeting of the Congregation on

Apri l 12, 1961, over 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 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 ldor,

from generation to generation.

Congregation Shaarey Zedek is a warm, welcoming, inclusive and

egalitar ian 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, al l part icipate in celebrating our history, enriching our

community and planning our future.
