It was created eight years ago by the merger of a Reform and Conservative congregation and many members still identify themselves strongly with one of those movements. Although the synagogue has chosen not to affiliate with any movement, the Reform prayer book is used on Friday night and the Conservative prayer book is used on Saturday morning and for the high holidays. The congregation is completely gender-egalitarian. The members of the congregation are well-educated, middle to upper-middle class and concentrated in the thirty-five to fifty-five age group. Most members are married and have children, though there is a small group of singles in their twenties and thirties and a few older people. An unusual number of congregants have strong Jewish backgrounds. At least thirty have gone to day schools or Yeshivot as children. Groups in the congregation There are four distinct groups in the congregation: 1. The Right wing - Most are day school or Y eshivah graduates.

Blaustein, a young Jewish architect who borrowed elements from different religious buildings to create a unique structure. In 2017, diagonal cracks in the parapet signaled danger: the wall needed emergency bracing to stabilize it while the plans could be drawn up for construction. In the end, along with other major work throughout the building, the parapet wall was rebuilt from the top of the arched window line on up. Pictured below: 47 Plaza Street West (for Rehabilitation of an His- toric Structure), presented to PL-UN Tenants Corp, RKLA Studio Landscape Architecture, Forerunner Creations, Artistic Masonry - Being stewards of a Rosario Candela building comes with responsibil- ity, one the residents of 47 Plaza Street West know too well.
