Rosenhayn Synagogue, commonly called Garton Road Shul, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Rosenhayn, New Jersey, in the United States. Completed in 1898, the synagogue is one of fewer than 100 surviving nineteenth century synagogues in the United States.[2][1]
It has been taken care of by the Ostroff family of Cumberland County, NJ.[3]
The wooden, gabled, clapboard building was erected by a local Jewish agricultural colony,[4][5] with historical links to Jews from Soviet Russia and Ukraine.[6]
