There is a very small synagogue in Middletown, Pennsylvania. It is registered on the National Registry of Historic Buildings and is the oldest continuously active synagogue in Dauphin County which includes Harrisburg—the capitol of Pennsylvania.

The building is 109 years old and the steps and facade are in need of repair, which is very costly. The synagogue was built brick by brick by the founders who came to America from Pusolotus, Lithuania. My grandfather was one of the founders and I am proud to be a congregant.

B'nai Jacob does not requre dues and its services are open to all. Services are conducted once a month (generally the first Friday of each month) and High Holidays.

Please contribute to this worthy cause—no contribution is too small. Tell your friends and neighbors. Contributions are tax deductible and should be made to Historic B'nai Jacob Synagogue. Offline contributions should be addressed to Historic Bnai Jacob Synagogue, 121 Shirley Drive, Middletown, PA  17057.
