Congregation Beth Emeth (House of Truth) is a Reform synagogue in Albany, New York.
History
The congregation was formed in 1885 with the merger of a "dwindling" Orthodox congregation, Anshe Emeth (People of Truth) and a "growing" Reform congregation, Beth El (House of God).[1] Reform pioneer Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise led Beth El from 1846 to 1850 and Anshe Emeth from 1850 to 1854 before relocating to Cincinnati.[2]
Architecture
The congregation's 1887 building, located at Lancaster and South Swan Streets in Albany, is considered to be one of the few surviving 19th-century synagogues in the United States.[3] The architect was Adolph Fleischman, with Isaac Perry.[4] The building is in Richardson Romanesque style. As of 1993 it was the home of the Wilborn Temple First Church of God in Christ.[4]
The congregation's 1957 building was designed by Percival Goodman.[5][4]
