Congregation House of Israel (French: Congrégation Maison d'Israël, Hebrew: ק״ק בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל) is an Orthodox synagogue in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec, serving the Laurentian Jewish community.[1] It was officially opened on 12 July 1953.[2]
The congregation is led by Rabbi Emanuel Carlebach, who assumed the role upon the passing of his father Rabbi Ephraim Carlebach in 1985.[2] The House of Israel counts more than 1,500 families as members, mostly Montrealers with second homes in the Laurentians.[3] The congregation also hosts a religious school and early learning centre.[4]
