Congregation Shaare Zedek Cemetery

Congregation Shaare Zedek Cemetery was a small Jewish cemetery located on the south side of East 88th Street between Fourth and Madison Avenues on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, and owned by Congregation Shaare Zedek on the Lower East Side. It opened in about 1847 on a lot that was just over 50 feet wide by 100 feet deep, and was filled to capacity by 1859. In 1881, the New York City Board of Health granted permission for the congregation to disinter the bodies and move them to Bayside Cemetery in Queens, which Congregation Shaare Zedek also owned. However, the bodies were not moved at that time, and several years afterward, during construction of a building on one of the adjacent lots, the cemetery wall was damaged. The congregation then sought to move the bodies, but this was opposed by some former members of the congregation whose relatives were buried there. The congregation asked for a halakhic opinion from Rabbi Jacob Joseph, the chief rabbi of New York City. He replied that while the removal of bodies that might have been disturbed by the damaged wall was permitted, it was against Jewish law to disturb the other bodies. At some time afterward, the bodies were moved, and the land was deeded to a woman named Mary Ehrman in 1899.

Aperçu

La congrégation a été fondée en 1882 comme congrégation réformée « Temple Gates of Hope » par un groupe de Juifs allemands. Après plusieurs fusions, la congrégation prit le nom hébreu « Agudat Yesharim », et demanda plus tard à l'État de New York de changer le nom officiel en « Park Avenue Synagogue » en 1923. En 1927, l'actuel bâtiment de style mauresque sur la 87e rue Est a été construit. Dans les années 1930, la congrégation a changé son affiliation du judaïsme réformé au judaïsme conservateur afin de s'adapter à sa fusion avec d'autres congrégations contenant un grand nombre de Juifs d'Europe de l'Est. Depuis juillet 2008, la synagogue est dirigée par le rabbin principal Elliot J. Cosgrove. La congrégation a été dirigée par des rabbins notables, dont Milton Steinberg et Judah Nadich.

Architecture

Le grand sanctuaire de style mauresque de la synagogue sur East 87th Street a été inauguré le 27 mars 1927, lors d'une cérémonie en présence du maire de l'époque, Jimmy Walker. Le bâtiment a été agrandi en 1954 et de nouveau en 1980, avec une structure de six étages s'étendant vers l'ouest jusqu'à Madison Avenue. En 2014, la synagogue a entrepris une rénovation et un agrandissement dirigés par MBB Architects et l'artiste juif Amy Reichert. Le centre d'apprentissage tout au long de la vie Eli M. Black, situé dans une maison de ville néoclassique de 1912, a été inauguré en 2017. La synagogue principale de la 87e rue, reconvertie en 2019, a été rénovée pour inclure des zones de rassemblement communautaire, deux nouveaux espaces de prière dédiés, un escalier vitré et une exposition de vitraux modernes conçus par l'artiste américain Adolf Gottlieb.
