B'nai Emet Synagogue is a former Conservative Jewish congregation and synagogue located on Ottawa Avenue, in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, in the United States.
The synagogue had its origins in a number of earlier synagogues and congregations that merged in the course of a century, so that the earliest roots of B'nai Emet can be traced back from 1889 until it moved to its final location in 1956.[1] It was used as a location for the Coen brothers' 2009 film A Serious Man.[2] The congregation was affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and in 2011 merged with the Adath Jeshurun Congregation, and put its building up for sale.
