MEMBERS
One in a Minyan
Each day, CSZ’s Minyan connects you to a
meaningful and beautiful Jewish experience
that extends through the generations.
Everyone is invited to join us for this fulfilling
mitzvah each weekday morning (followed
by an optional Minyan breakfast), or in the
early evening. Enrich your soul and connect
with fellow congregants, some of whom
may be in need of help to say kaddish for a
loved one.
Check your calendar, go to www.
shaareyzedek.org and click the link to let us
know you’re coming.
Casual Shabbat
Continuing through Labor Day, we invite
you to dress more casually on Shabbat
mornings (but no shorts or jeans, please).
While it is important to dress respectfully for
the Synagogue, we welcome a more relaxed
summer standard.
If you are looking for a private space, our
Bride’s Room/Nursing Room is available,
with a private bathroom. Find it in the
Blumberg Hallway off the Weisberg Lobby,
to the right of the Chapel.

 MISSION & HISTORY

CONGREGATION SHAAREY ZEDEK Mission

C ongregation Shaarey Zedek is a warm, welcoming, inclusive and

egalitarian Conservative Jewish community. We provide to all generations
innovative, stimulating and diverse spiritual, educational, leadership and
social opportunities that nurture our love and commitment to Jewish life, our
Synagogue, our country and the State of Israel.

Our spiritual direction is led by committed, knowledgeable and caring clergy

available to all.

Together, all participate in celebrating our history, enriching our community and
planning our future.

CONGREGATION SHAAREY ZEDEK History

In 1861, at the beginning of the Civil War, seventeen followers of Traditional

Judaism withdrew from the Beth El Society in Detroit to found the “Shaarey
Zedek Society.” In 1877 the membership constructed the first building in Detroit
to be erected specifically as a synagogue at Congress and St. Antoine. Over the
years, Congregation Shaarey Zedek has been located in a number of beautiful
and picturesque buildings. These include Winder between St. Antoine and
Beaubien Streets, Willis Street E and Brush, and Chicago Boulevard and Lawton
which is still standing. At the 100th annual meeting of the Congregation on
April 12, 1961, more than 700 members approved the recommendation from
the Board of Directors that a new synagogue be built on a forty acre site in the
city of Southfield.

Since the 19th century, members of our congregation have proudly played
leading roles in Michigan, the nation and throughout the world Jewry. For more
than 150 years Congregation Shaarey Zedek has been a house of prayer, a
house of learning and a community gathering place, transmitting Conservative
Jewish teaching, dor l’dor, from generation to generation.
