| Synagogue/Society Description: |
Chofetz Chaim Congregation was the second Jewish congregation in Squirrel Hill. It began meeting as early as 1923 and obtained a charter in 1925. The congregation remodeled a house at 5807 Beacon St. into a synagogue in 1930 and remained in the building until dissolving in the early 1970s. The memorial plaques of the congregation were later transferred to B'nai Emunoh Congregation in nearby Greenfield. Plaques were photographed by Rauh Jewish Archives director Eric Lidji and transcribed by Christine Dietrick (English) and Eric Lidji (Hebrew).
