B'nai Israel Synagogue (Baltimore)

In 1958, the Chizuk Amuno Congregation moved to its present site on Stevenson Road in Baltimore County.

[3] The Aron Kodesh is an architectural fantasy in carved wood, with the cabinet in which the Torah scrolls are stored, surrounded by a pair of tall minarets.

The "Ruschie Shul" would practice wherever they could: people's houses, the upper levels of grocery stores.

[11] Chizuk Amuno Congregation sold the building to B'nai Israel for $12,000 in 1895 when it moved to Northwest Baltimore.

[4] B'nai Israel donated land to the City of Baltimore to build a park near the synagogue in 1975.
