The first Jewish congregation in Vermont, started by 18 people in 1885; the name means "Lovers of Justice." That congregation, affectionately known as "OZ," is now some 400 families, worshipping in this 1958 synagogue.
The original synagogue, built in 1887, is now occupied by the Ahavath Gerim congregation, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
