Sons of Jacob Synagogue

Providence, US

The Sons of Jacob Synagogue, officially Congregation Sons of Jacob, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and historic synagogue and Jewish museum, located at 24 Douglas Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island, in the United States. The congregation was founded in 1896 by Orthodox Jews who fled from the pog

roms in Russia and Poland, who met initially in a house on Shawmut Street, in Providence. The congregation moved to their Douglas Avenue synagogue in 1906, expanded it in the 1920s, and appointed their first rabbi in 1926. An exit from the Interstate 95 was subsequently located adjacent to the synagogue building.
