Former Adath Jeshurun of Jassy Synagogue, Romanian Jewish synagogue in Lower East Side, Manhattan, United States.

The Moorish Revival style synagogue at 58-60 Rivington Street features architectural elements designed by Emery Roth in 1904.

The First Romanian-American Congregation established this synagogue in 1881, initially worshiping on Hester Street before moving to Rivington Street.

Notable members of the Polish congregation included artists George and Ira Gershwin, Senator Jacob Javits, and film producer Samuel Goldwyn.

The synagogue building now functions as studios and residential spaces for artists following its renovation in 1979.

The synagogue's inauguration in September 1904 drew more than 10,000 attendees, marking its significance within the Jewish immigrant community.
