This week’s parasha

After years of childlessness Rebecca conceives twins, and God tells her that two nations are in her womb and the elder will serve the younger. Esau becomes a hunter and Jacob a dweller in tents, and Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a pot of lentil stew.

Who we are

Its ways are pleasant, and all its paths are peace.

The Chevra is a modern Orthodox synagogue that embraces Jews from all walks of life.

Here, the smallest step towards Judaism counts as a major leap. Torah learning, prayer and acts of kindness are the heart of the community we are building together.

More about us

“We were introduced to the Chevra and immediately felt at home.”

Life at The Chevra

The sanctuary set for a wedding: a white aisle runner between the wooden pews leads to a chuppah covered in white and blush flowers, under the tablets of the Ten Commandments, with stained-glass windows on both sides.

Weddings

Get married at Le Ballroom

The chuppah under eighteen stained-glass windows, then dinner and dancing in Montreal’s largest ballroom. Our office will help you with everything in between.
