The Mosholu Jewish Center was an Orthodox Jewish community center and synagogue located at 3044 Hull Avenue, in the Norwood, Bronx neighborhood in New York City. The building is now used as a pre-school.

History

The synagogue was founded in 1927,^[1] and closed in 1999 due to the declining Jewish population of the Bronx.^[2] Rabbi Herschel Schacter led the congregation from 1947 to its 1999 close.^[3]^{[dead link]}

The Neo-Renaissance building^[4] was sold to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York in 2000 and repurposed in 2003 as the Head Start pre-school program.^[5]
