| The Rivington Street building was constructed as a Protestant church around 1860[6] by the Second Reformed Presbyterian Church,[36] which served the area's large German immigrant community. In November 1864 the building was sold to the Orthodox German-Jewish Congregation Shaaray Hashomayim ("Gates of the Heavens"), which had been founded in 1841.[36] Though its Hebrew name was essentially the same as that used by the First Roumanian-American congregation—Congregation Shaarey Shamoyim—which later purchased the building in 1902, the two congregations were unrelated.[37] IT repairpicnic baskets | |
