B'nai Israel Synagogue is a historic synagogue on NY 52 in Woodbourne, Town of Fallsburg, Sullivan County, New York. The first rabbi of the synagogue was David Isaac Godlin (1868-1943). It was built in 1920 and is a two-story building above a shallow concrete basement. It is a wood-frame structure, three bays wide by four bays deep and surmounted by a steep gable roof with deep wooden cornice.[2]
In the spring of 2010 , Rebbe of the Nikolsburg-Woodbourne Hasidic dynasty, began using the synagogue. Jungreis, who has a synagogue in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, has attracted a large following of Jews. Services take place there all day long from early morning to past midnight. The synagogue is used during the summer months, from Memorial day to Labor Day, when Sullivan County sees a large influx of Jewish vacationers.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
