Congregation Ramath Orah
550 West 110th Street, New York City

 

Ramath Orah has a unique legacy among Upper West Side synagogues. Founded by
Rabbi Dr. Robert Serebrenik, the synagogue’s original congregation was
comprised of 61 refugees from Luxembourg who escaped the Nazi occupation under extraordinary circumstances. When they arrived in New York they immediately began the work of establishing a congregation in their new home where they founded
Congregation Ramath Orah, naming it after the community they'd left.
