Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Congregation Tiferes Yisroel (2nd nomination)
since this is a unique  Hasidic Judaism|Hasidic Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox synagogue located in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, a city ''not'' noted for its Hasidic presence so this makes this synagogue even more noteworthy in that context. This article survived an AfD in 2007 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Congregation Tiferes Yisroel and has withstood the test of time, so it is very surprising that the nominator has nominated not just this synagogue but another one at the same time as well for "deletion", see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Congregation Arugas Habosem. There are many things that make this a keep, starting with two recent additions in it: '''1''' "In 2011 the shul synagogue celebrated its 25th year. The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore recognized this milestone by proclaiming March 13, 2011, ''Rabbi Menachem Goldberger Day'' in recognition of his service to the History of the Jews in Baltimore|Baltimore community." '''2''' In 2013-2014 Tiferes Yisroel became apparently the only American Jewish institution to accept bitcoin for dues, donations, and other payments. The congregation stopped accepting bitcoin after the collapse of the Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange.http://forward.com/articles/194224/bitcoin-bites-the-dust-at-baltimore-shul-after-mtg/ "Bitcoin Bites the Dust at Baltimore Shul After MtGox Goes Bust" (from ''The Jewish Daily Forward'', March 11, 2014.) The nominator should withdraw this ill-advised nominations as soon as possible. Thank you
