History

The congregation was founded in 1905, and shortly after, the congregation purchased a Presbyterian Church on SW Third Avenue and moved it to First Avenue, south of Hall Street. The building was refurbished and became the first official home of Shaarie Torah. [1]

A new synagogue opened on May 15, 1960, at Park Avenue and Jackson Street, but it was demolished a few years later due to the construction of Interstate 405. [2] [3] The current synagogue at 920 Northwest 25th Avenue was dedicated on June 13, 1965. [4]
