  • The First Roumanian-American Congregation, also known as Congregation Shaarey Shomayim (Hebrew: שַׁעֲרֵי שָׁמַיִם, "Gates of Heaven"), or the Roumanishe Shul (Yiddish for "Romanian synagogue"), was an Orthodox Jewish congregation that, for over 100 years, occupied a historic building at 89–93 Rivington Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York. Those who organized the congregation in 1885 were part of a substantial wave of Romanian-Jewish immigrants, most of whom settled in the Lower East Side. The Rivington Street building, built around 1860, had previously been a church, then a synagogue, then a church again, and had been extensively remodeled in 1889. It was transformed into a synagogue for a second time when the First Roumanian-American congregation purchased it in 1902 and again remodeled it. The synagogue became famous as the "Cantor's Carnegie Hall", because of its high ceiling, good acoustics, and seating for up to 1,800 people. Yossele Rosenblatt, Moshe Koussevitzky, Zavel Kwartin, Moishe Oysher, Jan Peerce and Richard Tucker were all cantors there. Red Buttons sang in the choir, George Burns was a member, and Edward G. Robinson had his Bar Mitzvah there. The congregation's membership was in the thousands in the 1940s, but by the early 2000s had declined to around 40, as Jews moved out of the Lower East Side. Though its building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, the congregation was reluctant to accept outside assistance in maintaining it. In December 2005, water damage was found in the structural beams, and services were moved to the living room of the rabbi's mother. In January 2006, the synagogue's roof collapsed, and the building was demolished two months later. (en)
  • La Première synagogue roumano-américaine, connue aussi sous le nom de Synagogue Shaarey Shamoyim (en hébreu:שַׁעֲרֵי שָׁמַיִם, Portes du Ciel) ou la Shoule roumaine, est une synagogue orthodoxe, qui pendant plus de cent ans a occupé un bâtiment historique, situé au 89-93 Rivington Street dans le Lower East Side de Manhattan à New York. La communauté avait été fondée en 1885 par des Juifs roumains qui se sont installés en grand nombre dans le Lower East Side. Le bâtiment de la Rivington Street, construit vers 1860 a tout d'abord été une église, puis une synagogue, puis de nouveau une église et a été considérablement remanié en 1889. Il a été transformé une seconde fois en synagogue et de nouveau remanié quand la communauté First Roumanian-American congregation l'a acheté en 1902. En raison de son plafond élevé, de sa bonne acoustique et de ses 1 800 sièges, la synagogue devint célèbre sous le nom de Carnegie Hall des Hazzans. Yossele Rosenblatt, Moshe Koussevitzky, , Moishe Oysher, Jan Peerce et Richard Tucker furent tous Hazzanim de cette synagogue. Red Buttons y a chanté dans le chœur, George Burns en a été un de ses membres et Edward G. Robinson y célébra sa Bar Mitzvah. Le nombre de fidèles, qui étaient de l'ordre du millier dans les années 1940, décline pour n'être plus qu'une quarantaine au début des années 2000, en raison du départ des Juifs du quartier Lower East Side . Bien que le bâtiment soit inscrit sur la liste du Registre national des lieux historiques en 1998, la communauté a refusé d'accepter des aides extérieurs pour l'entretien du bâtiment . En décembre 2005, des dégâts des eaux importants endommagent des poutres maîtresses, et les offices se tiennent alors dans le salon de la mère du rabbin. En janvier 2006, le toit de la synagogue s'effondre, et le bâtiment doit être détruit deux mois plus tard. (fr)
