Founded in 1861, Congregation Shaarey Zedek (CSZ) was the first Conservative Jewish Congregation in Detroit, and one of the founding congregations of the United Synagogue of America (now United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism).

From 1962 to the present, CSZ has been based in Southfield, Michigan. The synagogue building, designed by Percival Goodman, is one of the most breathtaking places to worship in the country. Magnificent, multi-story stained glass windows surround our bimah within a soaring sanctuary ceiling – a perfect setting for a tradition of world-class clergy, inspiring sermons, pitch-perfect cantorial excellence, moving simchot and an elevated sense of spirituality.
