Young Israel (1912 - Present) - Religious Group

Religious Family: Judaism
Religious Tradition: Judaism
Description: Some younger leaders associated with emerging Conservative movement found Orthodoxy more appealing and founded young Israel as a new association of orthodox believers. The association began in 1912 at Jewish Theological Seminary and was started by two professors, Israel Friedlander and Mordecai M. Kaplan, and Rabbi Judah Magnes. The goal of the group was to unite Orthodox Jewish youth of the Lower East Side of New York City. In 1926, the National Council of Young Israel was incorporated, and has since expanded through the Jewish community. Today, the group claims over 25,000 member families and approximately 150 branch synagogues throughout the United States, Canada, and Israel.
