Har Zion Temple was founded in 1922 in the Wynnefield section of Philadelphia. Rabbi Simon Greenberg, a 1925 graduate of the Jewish Theological Seminary, led the congregation from 1925 to 1946. Under Greenberg's leadership, Har Zion became a model of the synagogue-center with an array of activities which sought to involve every age group in synagogue life. Har Zion harbored a nursery, kindergarten, youth group, Hebrew school, adult study circle, men's club, and adult institute, and it published the Har Zion Bulletin. Greenberg left the pulpit of Har Zion in 1946 to become the provost at the Jewish Theological Seminary. He was succeeded at Har Zion Temple by Rabbi David Goldstein.
