Back in the late 1960's their was a Jewish/Christian Coalition in Norwood. It consisted of the Temple (Synagogue?) at Hull Ave. & Moshulu Parkway, St.Brendans Church on 207th &, the Episcopalian(or Lutheran?) Church also on 207th.st. The Rabbi of the congregation founded & hosted the event. The priests would meet with the Rabbi & members at the Temple to discuss problems the neighborhood was facing & how they could intervene. Rev. Boyle from St. Brendan's was the priest who was part of that, but I cannot recall the Rabbi's name. It was a dynamic group, they had an impact, but it came to an end when the Temple (Synagogue?) closed down. The Rabbi turned the building over to Rev. Boyle to continue its use for community service, which it did for many years. As the Jewish community waned, the outreach program impact was adversely affected. Does anyone recall the Jewish Congregation at Hull Ave. & Moshulu? Was it a Temple or Synagogue?
