 In 1908 , Baith Israel merged with <unk> Street 's Talmud Torah Anshei Emes Synagogue , a growing congregation which had become too large for the row house in which it held services . Talmud Torah Anshei Emes 's membership was mostly made up of Eastern European Jews , who were stricter in their observances than Baith Israel 's mostly German @-@ origin membership ; to accommodate them , a special all @-@ men section of pews was designated at the front left of the sanctuary .
