Young Israel of Flatbush

Established as a congregation in 1921, the synagogue was built between 1925 and 1929 and is a three-story Moorish Revival-inspired style building faced in polychromatic patterned brick. It features horseshoe arches, minarets, and polychromatic tiles.^[4]

The synagogue was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.^[1]

This synagogue was one of the earliest, and for a long time one of the largest, branches of the National Council of Young Israel, a movement that requires all branches to have a rabbi. This requirement was not strictly enforced, at the time.

Rabbi Solomon Sharfman served as the rabbi from 1938 until his retirement in 1984.^[5]

Rabbi Kenneth Auman is the current sprititual leader of the merged congregation.^[2]
