Dr. Max Nordau Synagogue

The Dr. Max Nordau Synagogue, also called the Hebrew Community Dor Jadash (Hebrew: דור חדש, romanizedDor Hadash, lit.'New Generation'), is a Conservative Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Murillo 665, in Villa Crespo, Buenos Aires, in Argentina.

History

The congregation was established in 1912, when a group of European Jews, among them Lithuanians, Russians, and Poles. They founded a cultural center, near the place where is now the Dr. Max Nordau Synagogue.

The community moved to its current location in 1923 and constructed a synagogue and a cheder school, with 20 students and a teacher. That same year, the congregation changed its name to "Doctor Max Nordau Hebrew Association", named after the Zionist leader and follower of Theodor Herzl. The current temple was opened in 1955.

In 1985, the congregation was renamed Dor Jadash.
