Temple Society of Concord occupies a hilltop on Madison Street in Syracuse.  The Reform congregation was founded in 1839; the current building was erected in 1910.

The classy sounding but odd name of the shul comes, according to tradition, from the English version of the Hebrew name Knesset Shalom.  This would be better translated as Assembly of Peace.  The German immigrant founders of the synagogue, however, instead used the literal, if idiomatically impaired, Society of Concordance.  The last word was subsequently shortened.
