Located between amusement park of Coney Island and the rich estates of Manhattan Beach, the neighborhood of Brighton Beach was settled by East European Immigrants in the beginning of the 20th century.   The neighborhood became place for many synagogues and among them ours that was initially organized as a $100,000 project in 1928 by the Men\u2019s Club of the New Brighton Jewish Center.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first Rabbi and spiritual leader of the Synagogue was Rabbi Moses M.
