Changes

B'nai Israel Synagogue started in [[1899]] as the local [[Wikipedia:Orthodox Judaism|orthodox Jewish]] congregation. In 1923, a house at 400 N. Barcelona Street was purchased and became the new home of B’nai Israel. As the congregation grew in the 1940’s efforts began to build a new synagogue at Mallory Street and [[Ninth Avenue]]. Ground was broken on Dec. 2, 1953, and the complex was dedicated on Sept. 26, 1954. The following year, B’nai Israel affiliated with United Synagogues of America becoming a [[Wikipedia:Conservative Judaism|Conservative]] congregation.
