Chevra Askinas

A group of ten Jewish men (minyon) living on Saint Paul’s West Side river flats first held services in 1913 in an old church located on Fillmore Avenue. A year later they formed a congregation and joined the Jewish Union of Orthodox Rabbis USA. The congregation erected a stucco and stone synagogue at 284 Texas St. in 1914. The congregation had 45 members in 1938. It is unclear when the congregation disbanded.
