Temple Concord's roots reach back over one hundred years to the first Jewish organization in this area.  The original Jewish settlers in Binghamton organized the Hebrew Benevolent Society, founded in 1862.  Subsequently, they created a number of Jewish organizations and religious societies.  Temple Concord was incorporated in November, 1950, and in February 1951 regular services were instituted in the Kilmer Mansion.  The historic mansion now houses our Hebrew and Judaic schools as well as a library.  In the early 1960's a modern office, sanctuary and social hall were added to meet the growing needs of the congregation.
