Sanctuary

The Congregation Emanu-El sanctuary is one of the few surviving masterpieces of the noted architects Wright & Sanders (for more information, see our History section). It is a rare example of the nineteenth-century Romanesque style synagogue architecture in Canada.

Social Hall (Annex)

With our new social hall adjacent to the kitchen, our synagogue could be a perfect place for your next simḥah!

Congregation Emanu-El has a kitchen that is kosher (dairy), under the supervision of Rabbi Harry Brechner. The kitchen manager has a list of caterers who are familiar with the kitchen and can observe kashrut.
