    Landmarking of Congregation Tifereth Israel leaves out the mikveh that also housed its rabbi

    When the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated Corona's Congregation Tifereth Israel in 2008, it drew the landmark site around the synagogue building alone. The second building on the congregation's lot, its mikveh or ritual bath, which is also known to have served as the rabbi's residence, was left outside the protected site.
