In 1972, Rabbi and Rabbinit Yahonatan founded the Beth Ha-Tefilah Ethiopian (Black) Hebrew Congregation in St. Albans, Queens, New York, as a spiritual branch of the Headquarters Commandment Keepers Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation in Harlem. By the early 1980s, the Beth Ha-Tefilah congregation had relocated to Mount Vernon, New York. Although the temple was still in existence as of 2005, there was no congregation. The Beth Ha-Tefilah Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation records include the constitution; by-laws; minutes of board meetings (1963-1988); and a scrapbook containing correspondence with other Hebrew congregations, newsletters, flyers, programs, and copies of telegrams expressing sympathy upon the death of members' relatives. less
