Past and Present Members of Congregation Brith Sholem

The history of Congregation Brith Sholem expands beyond its commemoration of 100 years. In 1890, early Jewish settlers of Ogden, like: business partners Ben Oppman and Samuel Rosenbluth, brothers Joseph and William Benowitz, and married couple, Abraham and Rosa Siner, established Congregation Ohab Sholem to continue practicing and honoring Jewish culture and religion in a new Western city. These members of the congregation, and other members mentioned in previous pages, represent only a small number of past and present members of Congregation Brith Sholem. There are countless members not mentioned who were instrumental in maintaining the synagogue throughout the twentieth century, which aided in the preservation of the Jewish culture and religion in Ogden.

Since the congregation’s establishment in 1890 to present, its household memberships have fluctuated. During the first few decades of the congregation’s founding, household memberships capped at around twenty families. The quantity jumped to over fifty household memberships during the 1920s. Beginning in the 1930s and lasting into the late twentieth century, the number of memberships slowly declined. During this period the household memberships fluctuated between twenty to thirty families. In 2021, the congregation holds thirty-five household memberships. Members are not only located in Ogden, but also come from neighboring towns such as Farr West, Logan, and even Southern Idaho.
