incorporated in 1911 under the name Chevra Talmud Torah Anshei Marovi by Morris Schiff, a Polish immigrant who lived in the Harlem area, an area with a high Jewish population at the time. As of 2011, the congregation claimed to represent the diversity of the West Harlem community, including students from Columbia University, Barnard College, and the Jewish Theological Seminary. Built in 1923, the synagogue building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in January 2002. Rabbi Jacob Kret served as the Rabbi for 47 years from 1950 until 1997.
