Historical NotesCongregation Tifereth Israel centennial glass. Congregation Tifereth Israel was a Jewish congregation in New Castle, Pennsylvania. It was chartered in November 1894 by Orthodox residents in the South Side of the city. The congregation built a synagogue on Home Street in 1894, moved to larger quarters on Moravia Street after 1901 and built a larger synagogue on South Jefferson Street in 1909. As its membership moved to the North Hill and liberalized its religious practices, Tifereth Israel dedicated a new synagogue on Moody Avenue in 1958 and affiliated with the Conservative movement. The congregation celebrated its centennial in October 1994. In the face of declining Jewish population in New Castle, Tifereth Israel merged Temple Israel, a Reform congregation, in 1997 and changed its name to Temple Hadar Israel. Temple Hadar Israel closed in December 2017.
