The Boston Synagogue, built in 1971, unites West End congregations lost to urban renewal, serving the area’s Jewish community with spiritual and cultural support.
After urban renewal had wiped out much of the West End, including more than 15 synagogues, the North Russell Street Shul and others merged together to form the Boston Synagogue. In this building, built in 1971, the congregation continues to support the spiritual and cultural observances for the remaining Jewish residents of the West End and downtown Boston.
The Boston Women’s Heritage Trail celebrates the past accomplishments of remarkable women in Boston, claiming their rightful place in our City’s history. Through education, reflection, and an interactive city-wide monument, we activate the powerful female side of Boston’s history.
