Congregation Sons of Israel — Orthodox
Glace Bay, Nova Scotia
The historic shul Congregation Sons of Israel, built in 1901, has closed. However the perpetual care of the cemetery will be maintained by the 12 congregants, supported by former members across Canada and the U.S. who no longer live where their family roots were planted. Closing the doors of the synagogue is tempered by the wonderful memories the families who grew up in Glace Bay will always have. Wherever they have gone, they have carried a piece of the the Glace Bay synagogue in their hearts.
