Congregation Beth Israel Ohev Sholem is a synagogue and community center located in the district of Sillery in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.

History

The first synagogue was opened in 1852, at the corner of Rue Saint-Jean and Rue Saint-Augustin. This was the fourth synagogue in Canada.[1] In 1910 there were two synagogues in Quebec City: Beth Israel, located on Grant Street and Ohev Sholom on Ste-Marguerite Street. They merged in 1927 to become Beth Israel Ohev Sholom.[2]

In the 1950s the congregation built a synagogue on Rue Crémazie and this building now houses the Théâtre Périscope.

In 1984, Beth Israel Ohev Sholom moved to a small suburban bungalow.[3]
