8 | FESTSCHRIFT

The East Denver Orthodox Synagogue was established in 1962 in the basement
of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Coopersmith’s z”l home.

When the time came to look for property, there was a vacant lot on Holly and
Cedar. The committee made contact with the land owner, who informed them
that her grandfather would be very proud to know that a “Jewish Synagogue”
would be built on his property.

EDOS has since served continuously as a hallmark of Orthodox Judaism
for our Community.

Our Shul is noted for its daily Minyanim, Shiurim, including its long running
Daf Yomi program. Our Shul is instrumental in the creation and continuance
of the Eruv, Bikur Cholim, Chevra Kadisha, Rose Hill Cemetery, all three Day
Schools, and other important organizations. Our members are also active
in many Chesed projects within the Denver Community and the Jewish
community at large.
