Kesher Israel Congregation, Orthodox synagogue in Uptown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, US
The synagogue features a modern architectural design with an expansive worship space accommodating 800 people and contains additional facilities for community gatherings.
The congregation started in 1902 when members separated from Chisuk Emuna B'nai Russia Synagogue due to differences regarding Lithuanian religious traditions.
The synagogue maintains a Talmud Torah educational program open to all Jewish residents in the city, fostering religious education and community involvement.
The religious center includes multiple facilities such as a chapel, social hall, and additional spaces added through the 1963 wing extension.
The congregation moved locations three times due to Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex expansions, receiving compensation that enabled construction of larger facilities.
