and only synagogue located south of Snyder Avenue.
History
Young People's Congregation (YPC) Shari-Eli was founded in 1948 when a group of younger members of Shaari Eliohu (8th and Porter Streets), under the leadership of Kelman Israel, broke away, formed a Conservative congregation, and moved into the building of the former Shaare Torah synagogue at Franklin Street and Moyamensing Avenue.[2] YPC Shari-Eli established a building fund in 1953 with a goal to raise $25,000.[3] Shari Eli remodeled its building in 1961. The congregation replaced the removable ceiling opening to the second-floor women's section balcony with a permanent ceiling.
Israel Wolmark became the congregation's part-time rabbi in 1973[4] and served for approximately thirty years.[5]
