Congregation Mount Horeb, a Black Hebrew congregation, was founded by Rabbi Albert Moses in 1945. In 1954, the congregation was reorganized by Rabbi Joseph Thomas. The Congregation Mount Horeb records consist primarily of membership meeting minutes (1976-1988), financial reports, legal documents, and correspondence pertaining to the sale of property owned by the congregation in Manhattan and Laurelton, Queens. The records reflect an internal dispute among members of the congregation regarding the ownership and sale of buildings. The collection includes membership lists and a ledger (1976-1987), as well as its constitution and by-laws.
