Temple Rodeph Sholom on the southeast corner of Sixty-third Street and Lexington Avenue, New York City, a landmark of the district, has been purchased as a site for an apartment hotel.
This is the second large congregation in New York to follow the trend of its members in moving out of a district which is being changed for structures for other uses. The sale of Temple Emanu El at Fifth Avenue and Forty-third Street was effected recently.
The property was sold by a committee of the trustees of the Congregation Rodeph Sholom consisting of Henry M. Goldfogle, President, Alfred D. Lind, E. J. Wile and Alexander Pfeiffer, to the Amri Realty Company, of which Bernard Reich is President.
Although the exact price paid was not revealed, it is understood that the property brought close to $800,000. To complete the transaction the approval of the Court and the congregation is necessary.
The Congregation Rodeph Sholom is planning to erect a new edifice further uptown, where in addition to its synagogue it can also establish and carry on more comprehensively communal and social work.
