(AMERICAN-JUDAICA)
Silver pin inscribed: "Cong. Shaaray Tefila Choir 5635-1875."
Approx. 1.5 x 1.5 inches. Housed in contemporary velvet-lined morocco hinged case.
c. 1875
Congregation Shaaray Tefila (“Gates of Prayer”) was founded in 1845. Over a period of many decades, shifts in the traditional service were introduced, and by 1921 it had fully journeyed away from Orthodoxy and joined the American Reform movement. Since 1958 it has occupied a former theater, located at East 79th Street at the corner of 2nd Avenue in Manhattan. This pin was produced under the leadership of the synagogue's first rabbi, Samuel Myer Isaacs, a firm adherent of Orthodox Judaism.
