chabaddowntownboston.orgChabad House in Boston, Massachusetts, led by Rabbi Yosef Zaklos.
Chasidim [Anshei] Libawitcz (Chabad)synagogue was founded 1889 [1890] in the city of Boston's North End on 188 Hanover St. The location was a very Jewish neighborhood at the time. In 1894, it moved to 180 Hanover, and then in 1897, to 11 Hanover St.
The book pictured (right) has a stamp in the upper right hand corner noting the year the congregation was established in Boston : 1889.
In the 1900's it moved again to the West End on Leverett and Barton St. * (not longer existent, they were bulldozed as part of an urban renewal project). Eventually the congregation moved to 8 Smith Court in Beacon Hill where it remained active till 1972. (Subsequently, it became the African American Heritage Museum).
Interestingly, the previous Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneerson OBM visited Boston in the Jewish month of Sivan (late spring) 1930 as part of a larger effort to meet local Jewish communities and to galvanize assistance for Russian Jewry.
