The Congregation Habonim is a Conservative synagogue located at 103 West End Avenue on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City. The congregation was founded in 1939 by German-Jewish immigrants who fled Nazi persecution. The founding rabbi was Hugo Hahn and his son-in-law Bernard Cohn.[1] The congregation’s first building, on West 66th Street in Manhattan, was completed in 1958.[1] The building was demolished in 2017 to make way for the development of an apartment building that would also house the congregation's synagog upon completion.[2]
