Beth El Synagogue is a Conservative synagogue in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the only synagogue in Newfoundland, and the easternmost synagogue in North America.[1]
The Hebrew Congregation of Newfoundland was founded in 1909, meeting in rented spaces in town.[2] The current synagogue building at the corner of Elizabeth and Downing was constructed from 1959-1961,[2] and features include an open courtyard.[3] Edmond de Rothschild was made an honorary member of the synagogue in 1966 for his contributions to its construction. In 2001, the building underwent extensive renovations.[2]
As of 2008[update], the congregation had 25 member families. The president was Dr. Michael Paul.[1]
