The Mosholu Jewish Center was an Orthodox synagogue located in the Norwood neighborhood of the Bronx in New York City at 3044 Hull Ave and was founded in 1927.[1] From 1947 to its close in 1999 (due to the declining Jewish population of the Bronx[2]), it was the pulpit of Rabbi Herschel Schacter[3]

The Neo-Renaissance synagogue building[4] currently houses the "Msgr. Boyle Head Start program", run by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York[5]
