Sites Laval Ouest is the home to the oldest synagogue in the city of laval. The "Beth Abraham" located in a bungalow that seats about 100, was opened around 1940 in what was then known as "Laval West". In the 1930s, the then rural area with its beaches was a popular summer getaway for many Jewish families who rented summer homes there. The synagogue served summer residents till the mid-1970s and continues to be maintained, although it is only used now on the High Holy Days.
