The First Hungarian Congregation Ohab Zedek, sometimes abbreviated as "OZ", is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Manhattan, New York City. It was founded in 1873 on the Lower East Side, and moved to Harlem, then to its present location on W 95th Street in 1926. OZ draws over 700 worshipers on Shabbos.[1]

The famous singer Yossele Rosenblatt was a cantor there from 1911 to 1926, and again in 1929.[2]

The synagogue is also notable for its elegant architecture in the old European style, with red carpets and a balcony for women.

As of 2007, the spiritual leaders are Rabbi Allen Schwartz and Rabbi David Wilensky.
