In 1993 several Jewish families in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires decided to form a new Masorti congregation and chose Darío Feiguin as their rabbi.

In 2001, thanks to a donation from businessman Natalio Garber, former owner of Musimundo, the congregation purchased an old safe factory next to Chinatown to construct their own building.

The building area is approximately 3,500 m2 (38,000 sq ft) and, in addition to the synagogue, includes a community dining hall, classrooms, administrative offices for staff and Rabbis, a library and meeting spaces.

During the construction of the building, a design contest was held for a Tree of life art piece in the temple garden to honor the memory of congregants' loved ones.

Rabbi Avruj worked alongside the Pontiff on social justice related issues when the latter was Archbishop of Buenos Aires and thus was invited to participate as part of the delegation.

Those who have performed concerts in the synagogue have included Darío Volonté, Daniel Barenboim, Luis Alberto Spinetta, Camerata Bariloche,[2] Pinchas Zukerman,[16] the Russian National Orchestra, the Harlem Opera Theater, the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Hesse, la Kammerphilarmonie de Frankfurt, Martha Argerich,[17] Sandra Mihanovich, Bruno Gelber,[18] Atilio Stampone, Hermeto Pascoal, Chango Spasiuk, Jaime Torres, and Pedro Aznar, plus others.
