M1 Bank was honored to partake in the 2023 United Hebrew Congregation Annual Fundraiser.
The United Hebrew Congregation Fundraiser featured an open bar, dinner, color wars and more. There was a whiskey tasting, cornhole, darts, craft table, photo booth, s’mores, bingo room, and prizes.
United Hebrew Congregation was founded in St. Louis in 1837. This was a mere fifteen years after the incorporation of the City of St. Louis. It was the first Jewish congregation to be established in St. Louis. It is the oldest west of the Mississippi River. At that time, it was the twentieth synagogue in the United States of America.
In 2012, United Hebrew celebrated its 175th anniversary, only the thirteenth synagogue in the country to celebrate this milestone under the original legal incorporation and—despite discussions from time to time over its long history—without merging with another congregation or experiencing a large-scale loss in membership to a “breakaway” congregation.
