Sydney Synagogue: Glace Bay

Chernin Dept: The 109-year-old synagogue in Glace Bay, N.S., is shutting down, leaving Temple Sons of Israel in Sydney as the sole remaining synagogue on the island, according to CBC. "I think the synagogue on Whitney Avenue should have at least another 10 years," said Martin Chernin, president of the Sydney synagogue and a century-old synagogue is closing down and another is threatened as Cape Breton's Jewish community continues to shrink. But it may suffer the same fate in a decade. 'It's just the fate of things.' Rabbi David Ellis As reported in the news.
