Synagogue/Society Description: Congregation S'fard Anshe Galicia was chartered in 1897 by Galitzianer immigrants to McKeesport, Pa.

Congregation S'fard merged with Tree of Life Congregation of McKeesport in 1973 and dedicated a new synagogue in nearby White Oak, Pa. in 1975. The building was sold to Temple B'nai Israel in 2000. Temple B'nai Israel announced plans to close the synagogue in 2024. Plaques were photographed by Eric Lidji. English transcription by Christine Dietrick. Hebrew transcription by Eric Lidji.
