"In 1892, dissatisfied with the manner and methods of worship of the then existing congregations, H. Plonsky, who had established the first orthodox minyan in Denver in 1877, founded Beth Ha Medrosh Hogodol Synagogue. With the aid of a few faithful supporters he rented a commodious room on Larimer between 14th and 15th Streets. Rabbi Heyman Saft, who happened to be in Denver at the time, was engaged, and the congregation soon gained in membership and influence. A religious school was established, the first orthodox one in the city, and did excellent work." END
