TheUnited Synagogue of Hoboken is aConservativesynagogue inHoboken,Hudson County,New Jersey, in the United States.
In 1946 The Hoboken Jewish Center and The Star of Israel Synagogue merged to form The United Synagogue of Hoboken.[2][dead link] Originally, Moses Montefiore Synagogue had been invited to join the merger, but it declined when it learned that there would be mixed seating for religious services.
The 1915 building of the CongregationStar of Israel is among theoldest synagogue buildings in New Jersey. It was closed for two decades before being reopened in 1989. It continues in use by the congregation. A thorough external restoration was completed in 2009 with the assistance of a $280,000 matching grant from theNew Jersey Historic Trust.[3] The synagogue is listed on both theNJ Register of Historic Places and theNational Register of Historic Places.[4]
