Temple Beth-El (Hornell, New York)

Temple Beth-El is a synagogue located at 12 Church St., Hornell, New York. The synagogue was founded as Orthodox, but was unable to support a full-time rabbi following Hornell's economic and demographic collapse after the closure of the Erie Railroad's repair shops, its main industry, in 1960. It operated briefly as a Conservative congregation, but is currently (2014) inactive. In 2010 it was a target for graffiti, a red pentagon and the initials FBG sprayed on the side.[1]
