Adath Israel Synagogue

Congregation Adath Israel Synagogue served Woodbridge's Jewish community from 1907 until its 2006 merger with Congregation Neve Shalom of Metuchen. The Conservative congregation first High Holy Days services were celebrated by a small group at Kendle's Hall, near the Route 1/9 intersection.
The Congregation was formally chartered in 1914 and the first permanent synagogue erected on School Street in 1923 with a Hebrew School added in 1939. In 1945, Rabbi Samuel Newberger was hired as the first full-time rabbi; in 1949, Adath Israel moved to a new building at 424 Amboy Avenue on land donated by local businessman Abraham Neiss.
At its peak, Adath Israel included 350 families and numerous religious and social organizations including Kadima, Hadassah, Choral Group and Men's Club along with a community center. The post-World War II upsurge in Woodbridge Townships population saw three other synagogues rise before dwindling membership brought mergers with other temples - Beth Shalom in Iselin, B'nai Jacob in Avenel and Beth Am in Colonia.
