1Title:  Shaaray Torah Congregation Records     
 Creator:  Shaaray Torah Congregation 
 Dates:  1904-2007 
 Abstract:  Shaaray Torah Congregation in Canton, Ohio, was formed in 1904 following the merger of the former Russian congregations of Anshay Sholom and Aguday Achim. Agudas Achim members elected to withdraw from the synagogue after two years, and in 1924 the Shaaray Torah synagogue was seriously damaged by fire. A declining membership and fiscal problems delayed the congregation in rebuilding until 1937. The congregation joined the Conservative movement in 1946 and enjoyed increasing membership throughout the 1950s. A large synagogue-school complex was constructed in 1960. The collection consists of bulletins, correspondence, synagogue histories, cookbooks, newspaper clippings, programs, and yearbooks.
