Shaarey Zedek Synagogue ("Gates of Righteousness") is the oldest synagogue in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[1] Formed in 1880, the congregation's first building was constructed by Philip Brown and several others in 1890.[2] Architect Charles Henry Wheeler designed the original Synagogue on King Street (1889–90).[3]
The synagogue has been located at 561 Wellington Crescent off Academy Road, on the western bank of the Assiniboine River, since 1950.[4]
