Congregation Mikveh Israel was founded in 1740 and is the second oldest congregation in the United States. Benjamin Franklin contributed to the building fund and a letter that George Washington wrote to the Congregation can be viewed when you visit here. Early members of the Congregation include Nathan Levy, whose ship brought the Liberty Bell to America, and Isaac Leeser, who was the first to translate the Hebrew Bible into English for Jewish readers. Congregation Mikvey Israel is one of four congregations in the world that utilizes the Sephardic, Spanish/Portugese Rite. Review © 2009, Wcities |
