Established as a congregation in 1888, and supported by the Ladies Hebrew Benevolent Society that was established in 1890, the congregation completed the building in 1891 and, by 1893, was dedicated as free of debt.[3]
As of November 2018[update], the rabbi was Lauren Cohn, appointed earlier that year.[4]
