Rabbi Sale came from Chicago in 1887 to succeed Rabbi Solomon Sonneschein (who left Shaare Emeth to lead Temple Israel) and served until 1919. He also served on the faculty of Washington University as Adjunct Professor of Hebrew and was instrumental in establishing Jewish Hospital.

Rabbi Samuel Sale became rabbi in 1887, retiring in 1919, and remaining beloved Emeritus until his death in 1937. He brought the Congregation to new prominence. As the members of Shaare Emeth moved west, the Congregation put the Pine Street property up for sale. In 1897, a new synagogue at Lindell and Vandeventer, in midtown St. Louis, was dedicated. In 1906, an adult education program was initiated. In 1910, the Men's Group and Junior Congregation came into being. Women were granted full membership in 1911. In 1919, Rabbi Louis Witt succeeded Rabbi Sale, serving until 1929. In that same year, the first three women were elected to the board of directors.
