Saint John Jewish Historical Museum

I was completely moved to tears as I walked around. I fell apart when I entered the synagogue. The whole place is beautiful and a sweet tribute to the owners.

Absolutely fabulous. The ladies are full of knowledge and the museum is small but quite unique. Long live the Jewish State.

Lovely old synagogue and museum of the history of Jewish immigrants to Saint John. Beautiful building. Lovely and nice guides.

Having visited Jewish memorialsites and synagogues in Washington DC, Prague, Frankfurt, Sydney, Jerusalem, Curacao, Riga, Budapest, Nuremberg and others, this was a different museum highlighting the history of the Jewish community in Saint John.
While the guided tour was appreciated it would be enhanced by showing the video at the beginning to provide the historical context. Then viewing artefacts etc is able to be done with commentary. Trying to accommodate all visitors is a tall order. Better to have guided tours on the hour or half hour rather than trying to accommodate everyone.
I appreciated being able to visit the synagogue but sad to see you so not have a rabbi.
For a gentile it was a good visit.

Beautiful home that was turned into a synagogue after the home, and the adjacent building were bought from a funeral home. The docents are very knowledgeable and are passionate about their work. A small five dollar donation in about an hour of information are just great.

A wonderful Jem highlighting the Jewish experience in St John. The museum is attached to a functioning synagogue.

Very interesting & informative. I recommend you ask for a tour, very reasonable donation of $5 per guest or $10 for a family.
