The synagogue is home to an active congregation with Shabbat and holy day services, is affiliated with Lubavitch of Center City,[1] and is the location of a proposed Center City community mikvah.[2] Menachem Schmidt is the rabbi of the synagogue.[3] HistoryThe Vilna Congregation began in 1904 as a Landsleit shul for Lithuanian Jewish immigrants in Philadelphia.[4] The congregation held services in rented rooms until 1915, when the building on 509 Pine Street was purchased by the Shapiro family. The building was registered as a synagogue on February 1, 1922.[5] Prior to its purchase by the Shapiro family in 1915, the building was the residence of Julius Taussig.[6] The Shapiro family was in the hardware business in the 1920s, at which time the women members organized the Sara Shapiro Sisterhood.[7] The stone above the front doorway reads, "בית הכנסת בני אברהם אבא ב'ר יהודה שאפירא ואנשי ווילנה נוסדה בשנת תרס׳", (translated as The Avraham Aba Bar Shapira and Men of Vilna Synagogue established in the year 5665. Joseph Hillel Snapir (1884-1971) served as synagogue rabbi in the 1950s and 1960s.[8] The congregation welcomed the memorial plaques from B’nai Reuben Anshe Sfard when the congregation closed in 1956. Current ActivityMenachem Schmidt became rabbi of the shul in 1989 and leads services, hosts meals, and teaches. The synagogue currently conducts services every Friday night for both the Vilna congregation and Congregation B'nai Abraham. On Shabbos mornings and holy days, the Vilna shul holds a “late morning” minyan with a festive kiddish following services in the building's second floor community space. The building is the proposed site of a Center City mikvah, Mai Shalva. Community members including congregation rabbi Menachem Schmidt organized a group in 2013 called the Center City Community Mikvah, selected a site, commissioned architectural plans and began to raise funds.[9] References{{Portal|Philadelphia}}1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.chabad.org/centers/default_cdo/aid/117957/jewish/Lubavitch-of-Center-City.htm |title=Lubavitch of Center City |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |website=chabad.org |publisher= |access-date=2015-09-20}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://philamikvah.org |title=Mai Shalva - Center City Community Mikvah |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |website=philamikvah.org |publisher= |access-date=2015-09-20}} 3. ^{{cite news |last= Thompson |first=Andrew |date=August 28, 2009 |title=Too Cool For Shul|url=http://www.collive.com/show_news.rtx?id=5108 |newspaper=City Paper|location=Philadelphia |access-date=2015-09-20 }} 4. ^{{cite book |last=Meyers |first=Allen |date= 1998|title=The Jewish Community of South Philadelphia |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NNWi5MGrAMsC&pg=PA122&dq=vilna+congregation+philadelphia+pine&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCgQ6AEwA2oVChMI89eB0-GEyAIVBB0eCh3W9A3d#v=onepage&q=vilna%20congregation%20philadelphia%20pine&f=false |location= |publisher=Arcadia Publishing |page=122 |isbn=073854955X}} 5. ^{{cite web |url= |title=509 PINE ST ACCOUNT # 771148000 |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |website=property.phila.gov |publisher=City of Philadelphia |access-date=2015-09-20}} 6. ^{{cite book |last= |first= |date= 1916|title=Philadelphia Section of the American Chemical Society |url= |location= |publisher=Catalyst, Volumes 1-2 |page=19 |isbn=}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://philamikvah.org/add-your-story/ |title=Communities |last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= |website=Mai Shalva - Center City Community Mikvah |publisher= |access-date=2015-09-20}} 8. ^{{cite book |last=Boonin |first=Harry Davidow |date=1999 |title=The Jewish Quarter of Philadelphia: A History and Guide, 1881-1930 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wckRAQAAIAAJ&q=vilna+congregation+philadelphia+pine&dq=vilna+congregation+philadelphia+pine&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDoQ6AEwB2oVChMI26rRp-OEyAIViMuACh2ieg9o |location= |publisher=Jewish Walking Tours of Philadelphia|page= |isbn=096698840X}} 9. ^{{cite news |last=Schwartzman |first=Bryan |date=October 16, 2013 |title=Effort to Build a Mikvah in Center City Picks Up Steam |url=http://www.jewishexponent.com/effort-to-build-a-mikvah-in-center-city-picks-up-steam |newspaper=Jewish Exponent |location=Philadelphia |access-date=2015-09-20 }} External links
