EARLY HISTORY
In the fall of 1916, six recent immigrants from Russia, Poland and Austria met at 2328 Ontario Road, NW, to create a congregation that would become Tifereth Israel (TI). Other neighborhoods, often anchored by the presence of Jewish storekeepers, already had congregations. The earliest, Washington Hebrew, at Eighth and I Streets, NW, had been founded in 1852 and was Reform. There were also two orthodox synagogues near the Seventh Street corridor (Adas Israel and Ohev Sholom), and as well as congregations founded in the early 1900s that met on Capitol Hill, in Georgetown, and near H Street, NE.
The founders of the "Mount Pleasant congregation" were Yiddish-speaking small businessmen (tailors, grocers, and shopkeepers) who first met in members' homes, held High Holiday services in rented halls, and hired guest rabbis and cantors. In 1917 they incorporated as Chevrah Tifereth Israel, an Orthodox congregation. Founding documents and early minutes were recorded in Yiddish.
The following year the congregation purchased the Gunton Temple Memorial Presbyterian Church building at 14th and R Streets, NW for $8,400 and became informally known as the 14th Street Congregation. In 1921, by then with roughly 150 members, TI moved to the former home of the

Cantor Katz And The Shul Sisters Brings Music To Temple Or Elohim
By Jennifer Corr
It was an afternoon of music at Temple Or Elohim, a community reform congregation in Jericho, on June 12.
Cantor David Katz was joined by a group of three women cantors, the Shul Sisters in what was the temple’s first “big event” since the pandemic began.
Ahead of the show, Cantor Katz said he was feeling “tremendous excitement” for the community.
“As you can, this is our 10th one,” Cantor Katz said. “We’ve had everything from the Pop-Symphony Orchestra to Tony Award-winner, Broadway composer Steven Lutvak… The entire point of this concert is to bring the community the highest level shows, Manhattan level shows you don’t have to go into Manhattan for. And you don’t have to pay much for it.”
Cantor Katz said he’s enjoyed the enthusiasm of the community, who he says often reaches out to him to ask when the next concert is going to be and who would be performing, adding to a reputation as the “music temple of the North Shore.”
