- Admin History/Bio
- Goel Tzedec was established in 1883. It was originally an Orthodox congregation founded by a group of recent immigrants from Lithuania. The first synagogue was situated in a room on Richmond and York Streets. Three years later they purchased and remodelled a building on University Avenue at Elm Street that was owned by the Methodist Church. Finally, in 1904, they hired an architect to construct a large building that was perfectly suited to their needs. In February 1907, the building on University Avenue was dedicated and became the largest synagogue in Toronto, accomodating 1200 congregants.
