History

The synagogue traces its roots back to 1895, and was the first synagogue in Bergen County, New Jersey.[5][1][4] The current synagogue on Broad Avenue was completed in 1958, after earlier minyans and synagogues located on Armory Street, Durie Avenue, on Humphrey Street (1911), and on Englewood Avenue.[6]

In 2016, iy opened a mikveh with two pools.[7] In 2017 it had about 750 families.[8]
