Judaism is now in Quebec since 1760, year of arrival of the first Jew. Aaron Hart, who was a judge, arrived in Quebec with the British army.
Despite its dwindling size, Laval is still home to seven Synagogues.
The second oldest are the Young Israel (the largest) and the SHAAR SHALOM, a conservative congregation, which both date back to 1958.
The synagogue was built between 1964 and 1966 by Warshaw Swartzman and Borrow, architects.
The walls are plastered.
