Congregation Rodeph Shalom

Congregation Rodeph Shalom, is an historic Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, established in 1795 and is the oldest Ashkenazic synagogue in the Western Hemisphere.

Relatively late in its history, the congregation finally built its first building in 1866, a Moorish Revival sanctuary on North Broad Street designed by Philadelphia architect Frank Furness.

The Philadelphia Museum of Jewish Art, located within Rodeph Shalom is dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art that illuminates the Jewish experience.
