Congregation Ein Yaakov established in 1898 was first located on 112 Prince Street and relocated a number of times. Its final home was on 11 Jones Street until it merged with other  Congregations in 1933. Like most of the Shules and Jewish landmarks in Newark, all the buildings have since been destroyed to make way for new housing or are still sitting vacant.
