The Congregation Oheb-Shalom was organized in 1860 by a dissident group of Bohemian Jews from B'nai Jeshurun. The founder and first rabbi was Rev. Isaac Schwartz. The first synagogue was dedicated on September 14, 1884. In 1910 the cornerstone of the second synagogue was laid and in 1911 it was opened for worship. The synagogue built on Prince Street is presently being restored for use by the Newark Conservancy and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally it was Orthodox, with separate seating for men and women with no organ or choir. Eventually, this synagogue followed the Conservative ritual. Today the Synagogue is located at 170 Scotland Road in South Orange.
