Since 1962, Congregation Mishkon Tfiloh has played a significant part in Jewish life on the East Side of Providence. The congregation was founded by a group of families that wanted a strictly Orthodox shul. These people would walk from all ends of the East Side to daven in Mishkon Tfiloh, one of the only Orthodox shuls in the neighborhood at that time. The Rabbanim in the shul organized classes, and this led a number of people, many of whom still live in Providence, to keep Torah and mitzvot.
