  Among the founders of Sinai Congregation were the Greenebaum brothers (Elias, Jacob, and Henry), Isaac Greensfelder, Bernhard Felsenthal, Julius Rosenthal, and Simon Florsheim.
  ...
  The first rabbi, Bernhard Felsenthal, and other leading members of the Sinai Congregation believed they should not stand on tradition, and felt that forms and institutions could be changed to meet modern conditions. For example, the individualistic businessmen of Sinai Congregation viewed Rabbi Felsenthal not as their leader but as a ministerial representative of the congregation. Also, in the synagogue, men and women sat together and were seen as coequals in religious matters.
  
  Felsenthal resigned in 1864 because he wanted to be more than a ministerial representative of the congregation.
