History

In 1957, Tetiever Ahavath Achim Anshe Sfard (1909)[1] forms Warrensville Center Synagogue;[2] in 1959, Kinsman Jewish Center (1930)[3] and N'Vai Zedek (1922) merge with Warrensville Center Synagogue.[2] In 1970, Sherith Jacob (1899) and Sherith Israel (1922) agree to join Warrensville.[4]

In 1959, Ohel Jacob (1915) and Ohel Yavne (1919) merge to form Shaker-Lee Synagogue; in 1962, Tifereth Israel (1920) joins Shaker-Lee Synagogue.[5] In 1972, Shaker-Lee agrees to merge with Warrensville Center Synagogue.[2]

In the early-2000s, renamed Cedar Rd. Synagogue moves from Warrensville Rd. to Cedar Rd. in Lyndhurst, and in 2012 Sinai Synagogue merges with Cedar Rd. Synagogue to form Cedar Sinai Synagogue.[6]

In 2012, Cedar Sinai's attempt to merge with Oheb Zedek - Taylor Road Synagogue (1904)[7] to form Oheb Zedek-Cedar Sinai Synagogue failed, and a settlement between the two was agreed upon in 2014.[6]
