In 1959, Ohel Jacob (1915) and Ohel Yavne (1919) merge to form Shaker-Lee Synagogue; in 1962, Tifereth Israel (1920) joins Shaker-Lee Synagogue. In 1972, Shaker-Lee agrees to merge with Warrensville Center Synagogue.
In the early-2000s, renamed Cedar Rd. Synagogue moves from Warrensville Rd. to Cedar Rd. in Lyndhurst, and in 2012 Sinai Synagogue merges with Cedar Rd. Synagogue to form Cedar Sinai Synagogue.
