History
The synagogue was founded in 1872[2] and was originally known as Anshe Jeshurun.[3] The congregation built a neoclassical, Romanesque synagogue building in 1902.[2]
Rabbi Moses Zevulun Margolies served as the synagogue's Rabbi from 1906 until his death in 1936.[4] He was hired around the same time as Mordecai Kaplan, and they served to counterbalance each other, Margolies's Yiddish and tradition against Kaplan's English sermonizing and other changes.[
