Congregation Shaar Hashomayim (Windsor)

Congregation Shaar Hashomayim is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue with Conservative influences in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Modelled after the similarly named synagogue in Montreal, the synagogue was constructed between 1929 and 1930 to serve the city's growing Jewish population. It experienced a period of growth through the 1950s, developing its own school and cemetery under a series of rabbis. As the Jewish community has dwindled, and following the rise of Reform congregations, Shaar Hashomayim has diminished.
