WASHINGTON (JTA) — Wash-
ington's oldest synagogue has com-
pleted a two-day move on 28 bal-
loon tires to a new site and a new
role as a museum operated by the
Jewish Historical Society of Great-
er Washington.
The 93-year-old building was the
home of Washington's Adas Israel
Congregation when it opened its
doors in 1876. It has not been used
as a house of worship since 1908
but was retained by the congrega-

tor'c landmark .
The Historical Society acquired
the building but it had to be moved
