History of Har Sinai Congregation of the City of Baltimore (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from History of Har Sinai Congregation of the City of Baltimore

The founding of Har Sinai Congregation was in the form of a protest against the strict Orthodox regime of Rabbi Abraham Rice, who was Rabbi of the Stadt Schul, now the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation. In 1840 there were about two hundred Jewish families in Baltimore, of whom only a very small proportion were native-born. There were then two congregations - the congregation just named, the Stadt Schul, which was then worshiping in a building at the cor ner of Hanover Street and zetna Lane, and the Fells Point Congregation with a synagogue at the northwest corner of Bond Street and Canton Avenue, later known as the Hebrew Friendship Congregation, which passed out of existence in 1904.
