Established Dec. 19, 1995, the Congregation of Shomray Hadath Fund was created to benefit the Congregation of Shomray Hadath in Elmira, New York. Ruth D. Goodman, who died in 1997, started the fund to support the congregation’s general operating costs.
The Congregation of Shomray Hadath later merged with the Congregation B’nai Israel, and since 2011 the congregation has been called Congregation Kol Ami, which translates to “All the People.”
