History
Congregation Beth David ({{Langx|he|בית דוד}}), also known as the Rumanishe Shul ({{Langx|yi|רומענישע שול|translation=Romanian Synagogue}}) was founded by Romanian Jewish immigrants in 1886. It was apparently named after the father of its first president, David Elimelech Pinsler.{{r|mjm_bethdavid}} Between 1890 and 1929 the congregation was located in the former building of Congregation Shearith Israel at 89 Chenneville Street, after which it relocated to a former church at 422 St. Joseph Boulevard.{{r|tbdj}}{{r|mjm_tbdj}} It absorbed the Galician synagogue Kehal Yeshurin in 1957 and Russian synagogue Beth Itzchak in 1959, both founded in 1904.{{r|mjm_bethitzchak}}{{r|tbdj}}{{r|robinson}}
Congregation Tifereth Jerusalem ({{Langx|he|תפארת ירושלים}}), also known as the Rossland Jewish Synagogue, was founded by Russian Jewish immigrants in 1904. It merged with the Jewish Community of Eastern Côte St. Luc & Hampstead in 1962, and with Beth David in 1965.{{r|tbdj}}
