Biographical history
The Beth Shalom Synagogue was informally organized in 1928 when some members of the Beth Israel congregation, in response to the overcrowded conditions at Beth Israel, decided to hold High Holiday services in the Talmud Torah building. The Beth Shalom Synagogue became an organized unit with its own program and its own Rabbi in 1932. It was incorporated on December 29, 1943 and a fund-raising campaign to erect a building was begun. In 1951 the Beth Shalom building, which also housed Kosher kitchens, Sunday school classrooms, a community centre, auditoriums, meetings rooms, and a library, was officially opened.
Custodial history
Mr. Harry Bloomfield deposited these records in the Provincial Archives of Alberta in two separate accessions, one each in 1973 and 1975. Mr. Bloomfield's relationship with the Beth Shalom Synagogue is unknown.
