The new synagogue at 75 Hathaway Avenue soon after it opened: the brick front and columned porch, with its name over the doors — 75 Hathaway Avenue, soon after the new synagogue opened.

Our story, since 1983

1983Rabbi Isaac Farhi rents 79 Neptune for six months to start the shul, and in June moves it to the yellow house on Norwood and Hathaway.
1985The New Jersey Supreme Court rules for the shul in Farhi v. Deal Borough Commissioners, a ruling other congregations rely on to this day.
1990The present synagogue is built, under the watchful eye of Mr. Maurice Cohen, and the address becomes 75 Hathaway.
