It was first located on Wooster Street in lower Manhattan until 1864, then moving to midtown 1867-1894 and later to the West End. There in a beautiful modern Temple at the southwest corner of Seventy-Ninth Street and Second Avenue the congregation made its contribution to carry forward a proud tradition of service.
