The Adams Street Synagogue Centennial Campaign

Centennial Donations

It all started on Adams Street...

Founded in 1912, the Adams Street Shul was the first synagogue built in Newton. Today, more than a dozen congregations help carry on what we started one hundred years ago.

For generations, Nonantum has attracted a religious and ethnic mix which has given it a character all its own, a character cherished by its residents. Our neighbors have watched over and protected our building for a hundred years. The synagogue's restoration and continuing revitalization are sources of pride for the general community as well as the congregation.

Today, we continue to serve a diverse congregation and the broader community. As we enter our second century as Newton's community synagogue, we invite you to join us in celebrating our history and looking toward the future.

Visit our historic building. Meet our friendly congregation. Join us for educational events and our beautiful services.

A Unique Building and a Unique Institution

Being listed on the National Register of Historic Places is an honor that brings with it the responsibility to preserve and maintain our historic building. But recognition as a Historic Place does not provide any federal, state or local funds. Help keep Newton's oldest synagogue going into the next century.

For one hundred years, the Adams Street Synagogue has contributed to the religious, social and cultural life of Newton. We want to pass along to future generations what we have received in trust from those who came before us. Please give generously to sustain this treasure.
