- PoW are symbols of the presence of the divine

Inside the synagogue
The synagogue is the Jewish place of worship, but is also used as a
place to study, and often as a community centre as well.
Orthodox Jews often use the Yiddish word shul (pronounced shool) to
refer to their synagogue.
In Orthodox synagogues men and women sit separately, and everyone
(except young girls) has their head covered. In a Reform synagogue
men and women can sit together.
The service
Synagogue services can be led by a rabbi, a cantor or a member of
the congregation.
Traditional Jewish worship requires a minyan (a quorum of ten adult
males) to take place.
In an Orthodox synagogue the service will be conducted in ancient
Hebrew, and the singing will be unaccompanied.
Bagg Street Shul - Beis Shloime
Beis Shloime
This is an Orthodox shul and it is the oldest one in Montreal. It
was built in 1921 in the pre- war district, which now Montreal's
Plateau. It is a world heritage site, which means it is
protected from being destroyed. It is still active with over 50
families in its congregation.
.
Jews in Canada
In 1760, Jewish people arrived in Canada as soldiers, officers and
merchants. In 1832, Jews finally gained the right to be Canadian
citizens and in 2001 the entire Jewish Canadian population was
348, 605.
Judaism in Montreal
In Judaism, there are four (4) main branches: Orthodox,
Conservative, Liberal and Secular.
In Montreal, there are 105, 764 Jewish people and they are all

What is gurdwara? ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ
Aim: What is purpose of a gurdwara?
Keywords
Gurdwara: The Sikh place of worship,
The gateway to the guru
Sikh: a learner

Guru Granth Sahib: the living guru and the

The First Gurdwara
The first gurdwara was built in Kartarpur, on the banks of Ravi River in the Punjab region by the first Sikh guru,
Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the year 1521.
The worship centers were built as a place where Sikhs could gather to hear the Guru give spiritual discourse
and sing religious hymns in the praise of Waheguru.
IW Famous Gurdwaras (60)
Which gurdwara appeals to you
and why do you like it? Use
examples from the picture.
Functions and Rooms in a Gurdwara
Shabad Kirtan: to sing hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib. It is
improper to sing hymns to rhythmic folk tunes or popular film
tunes.
Paath: religious discourse and reading of Gurbani from the Guru
Granth Sahib, with its explanations.
Sangat and Pangat: a free community kitchen as a langar for all
visitors, irrespective of religious, regional, cultural, racial, caste or
class affiliations.
The gurdwaras around the world also serve the Sikh community in
many other ways including: libraries, schools to teach children and
charitable work in the wider community on behalf of Sikhs.
There are no idols, statues, or religious pictures in a gurdwara, but
the essential feature of a gurdwara is the the holy book and the
eternal Sikh Guru, the Guru Granth Sahib.
A gurdwara has a darbar (main) hall, and a free community kitchen
called a langar,[1]. A gurdwara is identified from a distance by tall
flag-poles bearing the Nishan Sahib, the Sikh flag
Our Gurdwara was built in 2001. Our Nishan Sahib stands at 72 feet high and is unique because it is one of only 12 in the world. It
is in one of the most historic locations of Montreal, as comparable to St. Joseph's Oratory. In the past 6 years, about 15,000
Canadians have visited the temple.
