From the Paper:

" Canadian Synagogues The Canadian synagogue was plagued with multiple concerns in its early establishment period. In the early part of the Twentieth Century, Judaism had arrived in Canada but the majority of Jewish communities were still seeking to appropriately define a sense of community and of purpose, and the synagogue was instrumental in helping achieve these ends. The care and the construction of the synagogue was a central component of the Jewish community and tended to involve all members. Shuchat writes of the building process that was used for the construction of the Shaar Hashomayim synagogue, in which multiple details needed to be considered in order for the synagogue to meet both the spiritual and the emotional needs of the congregation. Additional concerns, such as the education of the younger generations, were also a priority. "
