Historical records tell us that the first Jews living in Toledo arrived in 1837. As the Jewish population of Ohio continued to grow, so too did the Toledo Jewish community. Congregation Shomer Emunim was founded in 1870, and then was dissolved, but by 1875 the congregation was reorganized as a Reform congregation, with services being held in store rooms and homes. The name of the congregation, selected by Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, founder of Reform Judaism in America, was "Shomer Emunim - Guardian of the Faithful," taken from the Book of Isaiah (26:2) "Open the gates, and let a righteous nation enter, [a nation] that keeps the faith."

The first place of worship was a small church rented from a Christian congregation located on 11th Street between Madison and Jefferson in downtown Toledo. In 1879, it was decided to raise the then grand sum of $12,500 to build a Sanctuary. A small structure was built on Tenth Street between Washington and Monroe. As the Jewish population was centered near the building, it was considered an ideal location. The Temple was personally dedicated by Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise.

The Toledo Jewish community grew, and after 23 years, the congregation moved to a larger building on Scottwood Avenue between Monroe and Bancroft, which had previously been used by Epworth United Methodist Church. In 1916, with a growing membership, the congregation built a major new synagogue on Collingwood Avenue, known affectionately as the "Collingwood Avenue Temple." By 1950, Reform Judaism was a vital and flourishing movement and the building was enlarged. Five years later, another addition was made to the building.

In 1973, our beautiful edifice on Sylvania Avenue was built and dedicated. Today, The Temple remains a vibrant institution. Our school educates hundreds of children; young and old families find meaningful spiritual, social, educational and service activities; and we continue to espouse the highest principles of our faith in the general community.

In the summer of 1976 twenty young Deerfield families, seeking to form a close-knit Jewish community, to find spiritual expression for themselves and a Jewish education for their children, founded Congregation B’nai Tikvah, Children of Hope. This tri-part aspiration reflected our people’s ancient understanding of such an institution: namely, a Beit Tefillah, a house of prayer; a Beit Midrash, a house of study; and a Beit Knesset, a house of assembly.

After meeting first in South Park Elementary School and later in the gymnasium of Wilmot Elementary School, we moved into our current, beautiful building in 1993. From those humble beginnings, B’nai Tikvah has grown into a force for Conservative Judaism on the North Shore. Members hail from Deerfield, Northbrook, Highland Park, Buffalo Grove, and beyond.
