Biographical/Historical note
Congregation Chevry Lomday Mishnayes was founded in 1918 by a group of Eastern European and Russian immigrants under the name of "Chevre Mishnayos of Hartford" (roughly translated as Fellowship of the Mishnah).
For the first seven years the congregation had no permanent home. In 1925, the congregants built their first shul at 150 Bedford Street. In 1934, the synagogue re-incorporated under the name "Congregation Chevry Lomday Mishnayes" (roughly translated as Fellow Students of the Mishnah).
In response to the mass movement of the Jewish population to the northwest part of Hartford and to West Hartford, Chevry Lomday Mishnayes purchased the former Young Israel shul at 191 Westbourne Parkway in 1964. By 1983, attendance declined and the congregation merged with Teferes Israel.
