About:
Story Temple Beth El of Borough Park, now known as Young Israel Beth El of Borough Park, is a historic synagogue at 4802 15th Avenue in Borough Park, Brooklyn, New York.BuildingsFounded as Congregation Beth El of Borough Park in August, 1902, it erected a brick building in 1906, at 12th Avenue and 41st Street. A three story building that currently houses the organization was built between 1920 and 1923. It has Moorish and Egyptian design influences. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.Both buildings are still in use as synagogues. The older building is the oldest synagogue building in Borough Park, and has been used by several different congregations. In 2017, trustees of the current owner of the 12th Avenue structure, Congregation Anshe Lubavitch, sold the building to developers, sparking controversy and a civil court case with some of the other members.In the 1980s, the Young Israel of Borough Park merged with Congregation Beth El. The combined organization still uses the 1920s building.LeadersBeth El historically has a distinguished list of officials, including: Rabbi Simon Glazer, rabbi in the mid-1920s Mordechai Hershman, cantor throughout the 1920s Rabbi Israel Schorr, rabbi from 1938 to 2000 Berele Chagy, cantor 1940s and early 1950s Moshe Koussevitzky, cantor from 1952 to 1966 Paul Zim (Zimelman), cantor from 1966 to 1968 Moshe Stern, cantor from 1968 to 1977 Benzion Miller, cantor from 1981 to the present
