History By 1926, under the leadership of a young rabbi by the name of Joshua Goldberg, (who later went on to become the third Jewish chaplain of the US Navy and the first rabbi during World War II to received this commission, and had a long and distinguished career in military chaplaincy) the need for a new larger Synagogue and Jewish center had become apparent. The “Charter Members” decided to embark upon this direction. By 1929, the ACI had become a fully operational “Center” of Jewish life in Queens. Mishkan Israel, whose building was erected in 1906, stood next to our Shul from the time of our building inception in 1925—until a fire destroyed the Mishkan building in the 1980s. Return to main introduction, or look around the shul. |
