Temple Beth Sholom

First name was Logan Congregation Ahavas Israel in rented space in a Theatre. At time of charter, was Conservative. Changed its name to Beth Sholom in honor of the Armistice of 1918. Hired a rabbi, Mortimer Cohen, and built a synagogue at Broad, Courland & Belfield, dedicated in 1922 (Italianate style). In the late 40's work began on a new community center and school in Elkins Park. The new synagogue, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright was dedicated Sept 1959.
