At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the first Jews settled in Hoogezand. Initially, they held their prayer services in a private home; it was not until 1810 that a synagogue was established in a house in the Kalkwijk. In 1854, a new building was put into use north of the Winschoterdiep, which, in addition to the synagogue, also housed a school, a meeting room and a teacher's house.
