   I recall seeing a listing in the Rabbinical Council of America membership directory for a Rabbi Yosef Aryeh Gewirtz. It may be his relative.

   According to the Synagogue’s charter, it was established as an Orthodox Congregation.

   Seems that it ended up as a “Traditional” Shul.
   Rabbi Gewirtz himself was a musmach of Hebrew Theological College in Chicago (now known as Skokie Yeshiva).
