The temple was originally was conceptualized as a meeting between the few Jewish families at Hannah Hirsch’s house in 1908 regarding their children’s religious education. They decided to form a congregation and were allocated the money to form it in October 17, 1911. It was only after their first rabbi was set up to lead the congregation and a suitable location was located and purchased for $6,300, that the temple was dedicated in 1914. The 1930s was its peak period of growth in terms of both members and facilities. This abruptly ended around the 1960s when many reformed Jews moved out of Flatbush. However, consolidation between the emaciated congregations into the one large Temple Beth Emeth v’Ohr Progressive congregation seen today.

The temple is located within the western part of Flatbush that has suburban-type layout. It is classical in architecture with prominent Corinthian columns.

Today, the congregation:

• offers Hebrew language courses from beginners on
• publishes a monthly newsletter called The Truth
• has a very active youth group called the Flatbush United Jewish Youth
