Description
Kenesseth Israel is an Orthodox congregation, one of the oldest in Minnesota. It was founded in 1891 on Minneapolis's North Side, becoming a vital part of Jewish life there. In 1971, due to the large-scale migration of Jews to the northern and western suburbs, the congregation moved into its current home in St. Louis Park. It adheres strictly to the tenets of Orthodox Judaism, including such traditions as separate seating for men and women, and it is the more traditional and conventionally Orthodox of the congregations. It is currently led by Rabbi Chaim Goldberger.
