What is unique about a black congregation in a synagogue in Harlem?

1. The faithful are black and Jewish.

2. The congregation is predominantly Asian.

3. The congregation is led by a female rabbi.

4. The synagogue hosts only cultural events.

The correct answer is: The faithful are black and Jewish.

The correct answer is "A. The faithful are black and Jewish." This is unique because historically, Jewish congregations have been predominantly white. The presence of a black congregation in a synagogue in Harlem highlights the diversity within the Jewish community and challenges stereotypes about who can be Jewish. It also speaks to the history of African Americans in Harlem, where various cultures and religions have coexisted and interacted for decades.
