In 1949, the Previous Rebbe sent Rabbi Moshe Chaim saponchinsky to serve as shochet for the community and also as rabbi of the Nusach Ari synagogue.

At the beginning of his leadership, the Rebbe sent three emissaries from Paris, France. In 1951, Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Zeitlin was sent to serve as mashpia, shochet, and mohel. In 1952, Rabbi Chaim Shneur Zalman Marozov was sent to serve as shochet and mashpia, and Rabbi Peretz Mochkin as mashpia.

Later, Rabbi Leibel Kramer and Rabbi Yosef Rodal were appointed as heads of the institutions and yeshiva, and they established a synagogue and mikvah.

In 1959, Rabbi Yehuda Spotz (who had previously studied in the yeshiva) was sent by the Rebbe to work in the yeshiva and in the Litvish girls' institution 'Beis Yaakov'. That same year, Camp "Gan Israel - Montreal" was founded in the Quebec mountains by Rabbi Reuven Tzvi Yehuda Feigelstock and Rabbi Berel Mochkin.

In 1970, Rabbi Leibel Kramer established the well-known institution "Beit Rivka Montreal" and the summer camp "Pardes Chana" in the mountains, named after Rebbetzin Chana. With the help of Rabbi Shalom Ber Kalmanson (who lived in Montreal at the time), he succeeded in recruiting many students for both institutions.
