Kerhonkson Synagogue, officially Congregation Tifereth Yehuda Veyisroel, is a post-denominational Jewish congregation and historic synagogue located at 26 Minnewaska Trail, Kerhonkson, in Ulster County, New York, in the United States.
The Orthodox congregation was founded in 1922.[2]
The synagogue was built in 1924, and is a one-story, rectangular, wood-frame building with a gable roof with overhanging eaves. It sits on a concrete covered stone basement and is clad in stucco on three sides. The façade has a false front that extends above the roof with three curves surmounted by a Star of David.[3][4]
Also on the property is the contributing Community House (c. 1954). It was built to serve Jewish merchants and farmers in the Kerhonkson area and is one of 20 intact early 20th-century Catskill synagogues.[3][4]
The synagogue building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
