A fine example of Victorian architecture with exceptional stained glass windows.

The stately Victorian building at the corner of Mulberry and Prescott streets was not always a synagogue. It was built in 1901 as a church. The surrounding neighborhood became increasingly Jewish and in the 1920s the building was sold to an Orthodox Jewish congregation.

With time, many of the congregants moved or died, but those who remained decided around 1986 to become Chabad. Rabbi Yehuda Itkin came to be their rabbi and he is still there today. Some congregants live in the immediate area; others walk 10 to 15 minutes to get to shul.
