Mount Zion Temple

About

Mount Zion began in 1856 as the Mount Zion Hebrew Association, founded by eight German-Jewish families in Saint Paul. It developed through successive synagogue buildings and remains an active Reform Jewish congregation with worship, education and community programming. Minnesota's first Jewish congregation, founded in Saint Paul in 1856 and still active. In Jewish World Records, Mount Zion Temple is connected to the record “Oldest Jewish Congregation in Minnesota,” based on the stored achievement of Founded in 1856. In 1856, eight German-Jewish families in Saint Paul founded the Mount Zion Hebrew Association, creating Minnesota's first Jewish congregation. The congregation continued through successive buildings and generations and remains an active Jewish institution today. JWR's record concerns the continuity of the congregation itself, not the age of its present building or uninterrupted occupation of a single site.
