Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I utua e te whakaminenga a Marcus Friedlander o te Congregation Baith Israel i Brooklyn, New York i te 1893. I muri noa iho i tana whakawhiwhinga, ka pā atu a California ki tētahi atu hekenga ohaoha, i pā kino ai ki te pūtea o ngā mema o te whakaminenga. I hokona e te whakaminenga tana rawa i te 13th me Clay (i noho hei ngakau o te rohe pakihi) i te 1895, ka neke ki tetahi waahi iti ake i te kokonga raki-ki te hauauru o te 12th me nga huarahi Castro, ka whakahoutia te whare i reira i te 1896. Neke atu i te 500 ngā tāngata, he Hurai, he Hurai kē, i noho ki roto i te whare mō ngā rā maha i muri i te ru o San Francisco i te tau 1906
He aha? I te tau 1907, e 95 nga mema o te whare karakia, me nga moni whiwhi o te tau $ 6,000 (i tenei ra $).
