Ohavi Zedek
Ohavi Zedek (Hebrew for "Lovers of Justice") is a Conservative synagogue in Burlington, Vermont, United States.
History[]
Founded in 1876, it is the oldest Jewish congregation in Vermont.[1][2] The synagogue's original building, a brick Gothic Revival structure erected in 1885 (Old Ohavi Zedek Synagogue), is among the oldest synagogue buildings still standing in the United States.[3] The building, at the corner of Archibald and Hyde Streets in Burlington, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The congregation moved to its present home on North Prospect Street in 1952. The building is now occupied by Congregation Ahavath Gerim.[4]
