Unidentified Temple Dedication, Oct. 3,1965

We have come across photos of an unidentified temple dedication that took place in October 3, 1965. Unfortunately, the photos do not give any indication as to what house of worship this is.  The only clue is that the temple had a previous 1940 dedication stone. We ask our readers to help identify this structure and any of the people who attended this dedication ceremony.

Per Howard Matson this is the New Temple Emanuel in Passaic on Lafayette Avenue.
