Synagogue/Society Description: |
Beth Israel Congregation was chartered around 1906 and soon built a synagogue on a small plot of land on Miller Street in the First Ward of Latrobe. The congregation dedicated a new synagogue on Wedon Street in 1954 and renovated he building in 1994. Beth Israel officially closed in 2015, donating its synagogue building to the Latrobe Area Historical Society. Plaques photographed and transcribed by Rauh Jewish Archives Director Eric Lidji.
