Congregation Adas Emuno is a Reform synagogue in Leonia, New Jersey.
The congregation was founded in 1871 and erected a synagogue building in 1883 in Hoboken, New Jersey.[1] The small building in a mix of Gothic and Romanesque styles, is now the oldest synagogue building still standing in New Jersey. The building was used for some years as a church, but is now a residential building.[1][2][3]
In 1974, the congregation moved to Leonia,[1] to a brick building on Broad Ave. purchased form the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.[4]
