what we did
Our History
The first synagogue, the Ahavith Achim (Brotherly Love), was established in 1898
and was well supported by citizens of all faiths.
The Saint John Jewish Historical Museum in Saint John preserves and displays the history of the Jewish community in the city of Saint John.
The Saint John Jewish community was founded in 1858 and was home for many whose accomplishments carried them far from Saint John.
the Synagouge
Our social life
Social activities have always been an important part of the various Synagogues in Saint John. The Museum has photographs of a Young Judaea basketball team dated 1922, and a Young Judaea dinner photo showing the mothers who catered the dinner from approximately 1955.
