Massachusetts Synagogues and Their Records, Past and Present by Carol Clingan

This listing attempts to identify and trace every synagogue that has been recorded in Massachusetts. All the information is accurate to the best that could be determined, but there are undoubtedly errors and omissions. Sources consulted include: city directories, real estate records incorporation papers, newspapers, and information from individual synagogues and their members. Wherever possible, name changes, location changes and mergers are recorded, as well as dates for the closing or disappearance of congregations. The symbol < before a date indicates that it is the earliest record found, while the symbol > indicates that it is the latest record found. In both cases, the actual date may be earlier or later. If a congregation is associated with a particular cemetery, there is a number that indicates the listing for that cemetery on the accompanying cemetery list. Records marked are to be found in the particular synagogue, but there are also other repositories listed in the column for “Other Records”.
