Congregation Adath Jeshurun is a historic synagogue and church at 397 Blue Hill Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts. It served the needs of the Roxbury Jewish community for more than sixty years. As they gradually moved away, its congregation dwindled and in 1967 it was sold to Ecclesia Apostolic. It was purchased by its present owner, the First Haitian Baptist Church, in 1978. The church has restored it to its present condition.
The building was designed in 1906 by Frederick Norcross and David Krokyn and added to the National Historic Register in 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word congregation:
“This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave
o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with
golden fire, why, it appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
