- Tours of the building focusing on the sanctuary (101 years old and on the National Register of Historic Places), with docents giving the history of the facility, the congregation and the Jewish community in Syracuse.
Founded by German Jews in 1839 as the Society of Concord, and recognized as the ninth oldest continuously operating Jewish congregation in the United States, Temple Concord grew and prospered through the 19th century. Seizing the opportunity to acquire the present site at the corner of University and Madison, the congregation’s leaders engaged the renowned synagogue architect, Arnold W. Brunner, who along with Alfred Taylor, designed the classical sanctuary that celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011, and is recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. A thriving 21st century congregation is proud to call the classical style sanctuary home and recently added lighting, banners and landscaping to make the building a highlight of Syracuse University’s Connective Corridor.
