Congregation Poale Zedeck
An Orthodox Synagogue in the Heart of Squirrel Hill
A great historic synagogue should possess dignity and grandeur, should inspire both awe and reverence.
A neighborhood shul should offer spiritual strength and social focus, should provide both community cohesion and personal growth.
For more than 140 years, including a century in its signature Squirrel Hill home, Congregation Poale Zedeck has stood as a dynamic Orthodox congregation, praying, learning, and celebrating together.
Blessed by a history of gifted, inspiring rabbinic leaders, Poale Zedeck continues to attract active, involved members who relish its ongoing spirit of volunteerism, its myriad opportunities for involvement in every aspect of synagogue life.
As a true multigenerational kehilah where people of diverse backgrounds thrive, Poale Zedeck encourages lifelong learning, community involvement, and strong support of Israel.
Those opportunities abound – and more. In a majestic facility that belongs, now as always, to the entire Poale Zedeck family.
Come and see for yourself.
Come and be part of us.
Congregation Poale Zedeck.
A place to be.
A place to grow.
