- Congregation Bnai Israel Synagogue is located on Wagner Avenue in Fleischmanns, New York, United States. It is a wooden building dating to the *1920s, built two years after local farmers founded the congregation. Originally an Orthodox synagogue, it has since become Conservative. It is the only synagogue in the Catskills with an exposed truss roof. In 2002, the synagogue was added to the National Register of Historic Places, after a multi-year effort by Bernard Rosenberg, the descendant of a founding member. Congregation Bnai Israel Synagogue is the only synagogue in Delaware County to be listed. *Nearly all the original synagogues of the Catskill Congregations we’re, in fact, renovated 19th Century local District Schools. The still extant examples stand in the exact locations of former district schools as plotted on the New York State Topographical Maps of the Mid to late 19th Century, commonly called Beers Atlas Maps. The buildings all have the unmistakable gable facing facade of the New York District Schools of the Hudson Valley. The Greek Revival Style of the early 19th Century with its signature Eave Return was reminiscent of Dutch gable fronted architecture. The design was widely used in New York for Dutch Reformed Churches, Town Halls and District Schools (one room school houses.) Later buildings used the similar Neo Classical Architecture of the Fleischmanns Synagogue. In the 1920s the style was archaic as shown by the many examples of updating to the then popular Mission Style. The proof is in the many examples of the eave-less hidden roof Mission Style with Roof Eave Return that exists solely on the synagogues of the Catskill Mountains of the 1920s. Conflating this belief, in 1921 all Real Estate Deeds and Land Parcel Tax Maps were transferred from the numerous Offices of Town Clerks and centralized in one Statewide System. Even the most diligent researcher can therefore be forgiven for stating that ALL buildings in The State of New York were built in the 1920s as the documentation suggests. (en)
