Rouyn-Noranda Synagogue
The Rouyn-Noranda Synagogue was a Jewish synagogue located in the city of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada. It was built in 1948 as the Beit Knesset Israel or Kneseth Israel Congregation by the Rouyn-Noranda Hebrew Congregation. A first wooden synagogue was built in 1932 before the same place.
By the 1960s, the Jewish community began to shrink as many of the younger generation began moving away to college. The synagogue closed as a place of Jewish worship in 1972 and was sold in 1973. The proceeds of the sale were donated to Israel.
