Biographical History
Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun was founded in 1872 in the Yorkville section of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Despite being established during a period of decline in traditional Judaism, the synagogue adhered to Orthodox practice and custom. In 1905, Rabbi Moses Zevulun Margolies (also known as the RaMaZ), a renowned rabbinic scholar and communal leader, became the senior rabbi and served until his death in 1936. He was succeeded by his grandson-in-law, Rabbi Joseph Lookstein (1902-1979), who was himself succeeded by his son Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, the congregation's current senior rabbi. Kehilath Jeshurun presently is a modern Orthodox synagogue, emphasizing both the "modern" and the "Orthodox" - deeply committed to religious tradition, and an integral participant in a modern, 21st century secular society.
