Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Windsor

Windsor has had a Jewish population from the 19th century, its first synagogue Shaarey Tzedek was formed in 1893, today this community prays in Shaar Hashomayim on Giles Boulevevard. Windsor became an attractive alternative to Detroit for many early immigrants. William Englander, considered the first Jewish resident of Windsor, established himself here in 1876. Englander started out as a peddler and then opened a poultry business on Mercer Street in the city's downtown. He was an alderman for Ward 3 and worked as an immigration officer and court interpreter. Many of the early Jews were peddlers. They settled in the downtown city market area known then as the "Jewish Colony".
