Kerhonkson Synagogue, officially Congregation Tifereth Yehuda Veyisroel, is a post-denominational Jewish congregation and historic synagogue located at 26 Minnewaska Trail, Kerhonkson, in Ulster County, New York, in the United States.

The Orthodox congregation was founded in 1922. [2]

The synagogue was built in 1924, and is a one-story, rectangular, wood-frame building with a gable roof with overhanging eaves. It sits on a concrete covered stone basement and is clad in stucco on three sides. The façade has a false front that extends above the roof with three curves surmounted by a Star of David. [3] [4]

Also on the property is the contributing Community House ( c. 1954). It was built to serve Jewish merchants and farmers in the Kerhonkson area and is one of 20 intact early 20th-century Catskill synagogues. [3] [4]

The synagogue building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. [1]
