B'nai Israel is an architecturally notable Conservative Jewish congregation and synagogue in Millburn, Essex County, New Jersey, in the United States.
[1] Rabbi Gruenewald served the congregation until his 1970 retirement, and also ran the Leo Baeck Institutes in New York, London, and Jerusalem.
[12] Gottlieb's wife supervised the sewing of the curtain, which was made of velvet in two-tiers, with appliqués and metallic thread embroidery.
[13][14] In 2009, historic preservationists objected to renovation plans thought likely to negatively impact the building's architectural integrity.
[1][15] The Motherwell and Ferber artworks were taken down for the renovation, and loaned to The Jewish Museum in New York for an exhibition reuniting them with the original Gottlieb curtain.
