Draft:Congregation B'nai Emunah (Tulsa, Oklahoma)

  • Comment: While I disagree with Mako001 on notability (secondary coverage in the Tulsa World, Tulsa Tribune and Modern Judaism), there are large sections of this article that remain unsourced and the article reads like it was a love letter or an oral history by a congregant. Look at WP:IMPARTIAL and WP:EPSTYLE for tips on how to rewrite this.
    One last note: we don't use external links in the body of an article, like you have in the lede. Bkissin (talk) 15:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Congregation B'nai Emunah, a progressive synagogue located at 17th and Peoria in Tulsa, Oklahoma,[1] was founded in 1916[2] as an Orthodox congregation. It originally resided at 919 S Cheyenne Ave.[3]

Currently led by Rabbi Daniel Shalom Kaiman,[4] the synagogue has a rich history of leadership, including notable rabbis like Morris Teller, Harry Epstein, Oscar Fasman, and Norman Shapiro. The congregation outgrew its original facility by the 1930s and built a new synagogue on South Owasso Street, dedicated in 1942.[3] Subsequent expansions and renovations occurred in 1959, 1985, and 1998.[3]

The synagogue houses a NAYEC Accredited Preschool Program, the pro-social Altamont Bakery, the pop-up Seventeenth Street Deli, and a HIAS Affiliated Refugee Resettlement agency.

The congregation has been home to notable individuals such as George Kaiser, Charles Schusterman, Lynn Schusterman, Stacy Schusterman, Tim Blake Nelson, Micah Fitzerman-Blue, Larry Mizel, Henry Kravis, Robert Butkin, Tom Adelson, Janet Levit, and Robert Donaldson.
