Buy-a Brick—May We Live to 320!

Starting at $54 (Triple Chai), each brick you sponsor goes directly to restoring, preserving, and enhancing our historic Sanctuary as it turns the very respectable age of 160.


Reflecting on the deep resonance of our 19th-century synagogue, Congregation Emanuel's 2024 B’nei Mitzvah class wrote:

“When you come in the doors, you feel different from how you feel outside. There’s an ancient and respectful vibe here. That’s the sort of feeling we get in this building; we want to honour that age.”

Birthday around the corner or celebrating a Simcha? Purchase a symbolic brick in someone’s honour and secure a piece of Jewish Canadian history!

Congregation Emanu-El acknowledges that we are located on the traditional Coast Salish territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples, known today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. We recognize our responsibility to care for these lands as First Nations have done for millennia. In accordance with the Jewish precept of teshuvah, or sacred reconciliation, we seek to repair the harms we settlers have done to the Indigenous peoples of these lands.

As Rabbi Nachman taught: “If you believe you can damage, believe you can repair.”​
