sisterhood was formed, followed the next year by a brotherhood. During the early 1920s the Tulsa All Souls Unitarian Church (founded 1921) met for a time in Temple Israel's building. At that time, some members proposed hiring the rabbi of Tulsa's Orthodox synagogue B'nai Emunah and merging with that congregation; the members were even willing to use the Orthodox siddur and wear kippahs; the merger did not go through. Latz served until 1924. He was followed by Samuel S. Kaplan, a 1920 graduate of Hebrew Union College, who served from 1924 to 1927, then Jacob P. Krohngold, who joined in 1927. 1929 saw three rabbis at Temple Israel; Krohngold, who left that year, Benjamin Kelsen, who came and left that year, and Hyman Iola, a 1921 graduate of Hebrew Union College. South Rockford building During Iola's tenure, in 1932, Temple Israel moved to another building, at 1602 South Rockford (at 16th Street),in what is now the Swan Lake historic district. That same year the congregation formed a choir. Iola was succeeded in 1935 by Abraham Shusterman. A 1931 graduate of Hebrew Union College, he served until 1941, moving to Baltimore, Maryland's Har Sinai Congregation. More traditional than his predecessors, Shusterman wore a robe and tallit (not a business suit) during services, introduced bar mitzvah ceremonies to Temple Israel, added Torah readings to the Friday night services, and Hebrew language instruction in Temple Israel's religious school. Membership grew to 200 families by 1935. Shusterman was replaced in 1941 by Ely E. Pilchik. Pilchik had been born in Baranowicz, Poland, and had immigrated to the United States in 1920. He was a graduate of Hebrew Union College, but "was more traditional than the typical Reform rabbi". By 1943, the congregation had fallen to around 170 member families, but by 1945 it was up to 215 families. Pilchik served until 1947, moving to Newark, New Jersey's Temple B'nai Jeshurun. Randall M. Falk also joined as rabbi in 1945. His tenure was only one year, until 1946, and he focused on Temple Israel's religious school. In 1947 Morton C. Fierman joined as rabbi, succeeding Pilchik, and served until 1951. Fierman was succeed in 1951 by Norbert L. Rosenthal, who concentrated on "a variety of holiday celebrations and educational programs". Rosenthal had previously served as rabbi of Old York Road Temple in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. In 1972, he allowed Oral Roberts to address the congregation
