In January 1983, Rabbi Farhi rents 79 Neptune for six months to start the Shul.

We were honored with a visit from the Chief Rabbi of Israel, Hacham Ovadia Yosef. Many people from the community came to see the rabbi and to see the new congregation.

In June 1983, we moved to the Yellow house on Norwood and Hathaway (258 Norwood).

July 1985, the NJ State Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Shul, after the Borough of Deal tried to block the Shul’s services.

The court ruling enabled many other Shuls, and even churches, to rely on Farhi v. Deal Borough Commissioners for religious practice.

Several years later, Mr. Joe Cayre joined the shul as chairman. He spearheaded fundraising initiatives to build a larger synagogue and better serve the growing number of families in our area.

The next door property 79 Hathaway was purchased for the expansion.

Renovations began in 2005.

In 1990, plans were drawn and the present Synagogue was built under the watchful eye of Mr. Maurice Cohen.

In 2002, we started plans for our second building, the Jemal Synagogue.
