Name changed from Samuel Rosa Nathan Ohev Zedek to [Chevra] Ohev Zedek in 1897. Began in rented rooms at 312 New St and then at a hall on NW corner at 2nd & Fairmount Sts until purchase of church at 7th & Oxford Sts. Combined in 1958 with Mt. Airy Orthodox Congregation to become Congregation Ohev Zedek. Built new synagogue at Mount Pleasant & Woolston Aves. in 1959/60. In 1968 the congregation Aitz Chaim Zichron Yaackov of Strawberry Mansion combined with Ohev Zedek to form, Congregation Ohev Zedek Aitz Chaim Zichron Yaacov. In the 70's the Logan synagogue was sold, and the congregation combined again - with B'nai Yisroel Anshe Sfard of Logan - to become B'nai Israel - Ohev Zedek, and moved to the NE, at Castor & Solly Aves.
