Sometime in 1882 a few members of Sheerith Israel, St. Louis's largest Orthodox congregation, left to form a new congregation which, by 1884 was worshiping under the guidance of Rabbi Arron Levy. In January 1885, Rabbi Levy was succeeded by 26-year-old Rabbi Adolph Rosentreter, newly arrived from Berlin. The first public notice of the new congregation appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on August 15, 1884, as follows:
Since those days B'nai Amoona has evolved from a small Orthodox congregation of primarily German-speaking members into one of the most prominent, conservative congregations in the United States. Led by Rabbi Carnie Shalom Rose, {{As of|2005|lc=on}} the synagogue is associated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism.[1] History{{prose|section|date=June 2014}}1882 - breaking off1882 - 1888 rented halls 1885 - 1913 Rabbi Adolph Rosentreter 1888 - 1906 13th & Carr 1893 - B'nai Amoona Cemetery established Garrison & Lucas1903 - 1911 Hazzan Friedman 1906 - 1919 Garrison and Lucas Vernon and Academy & Rabbi Halpern1917 - 1962 Rabbi Halpern 1919 - 1914 Academy and Vernon 1920 - 1960 Hazzan Gowseiow 1930 Men's Club founded 1945 - 1949 Washington Avenue converted office space Washington and Trinity1948 State of Israel founded 1949 - 1985 Washington and Trinity 1949 USY founded Rabbi Lipnick1951 - 2010 Rabbi Bernard Lipnick (emeritus) 1969–present Hazzen Leon Lissek (emeritus) Mason Road1986 Mason Road 1991 - 2003 Rabbi Eric Cytryn 1998 - 2003 Cantor Robert Lieberman 2003–Present Cantorial Designate Sharon Nathanson 2005–Present Rabbi Carnie Shalom Rose TodayToday, the congregation is a fully egalitarian Conservative synagogue where spiritual experiences, educational opportunities and warm fellowship are the lifeblood of this congregation.

Collectively known as the Alfred Fleishman Summer Camps, they are Ramot Amoona for older children and B'nai Ami for preschool children. Ramot AmoonaSince 1983, Ramot Amoona has provided the St. Louis area with a day-camp environment with informal Jewish education and active recreation intertwined. Campers entering kindergarten through entering 6th grade learn by doing, as Judaism comes to life in a variety of activities. Campers enjoy a safe environment that challenges the body, enriches the mind and releases the Jewish spirit within. Our unparalleled programming, super staff, and campruach (spirit) make Camp Ramot Amoona a special place. The day starts with songs of T'fillah (prayer) and is filled with exciting Peulot (activities) that keep campers and staff moving all day long. The daily YMCA swim instruction is a short bus ride to the Elk's Lodge. Special days such as Maccabia and Yom Yisrael are just some of the high lights. Everyone is involved in creating positive Jewish experiences with memories and friendships that last a lifetime. B'nai AmiCamp B'nai Ami is an introduction to Jewish camping for young children between the ages of two and five, with the oldest entering pre-kindergarten. B'nai Ami has a long tradition of providing toddlers and preschoolers a summer of fun with a "Jewish twist". Campers explore their environment and are introduced to developmentally appropriate activities guided by caring, knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff members. The low child-to-staff ratio ensures a safe and positive experience. B'nai Ami stresses socialization, communication, morals and ethics within a Jewish framework. The activities include water play, amanut (art), rikud (dance), musica (music), and tarbut Yisrael (Israeli culture). Every Friday there is a special event along with practice Shabbat.
