Commemoration
The Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York is named for him. On the second floor of the East Wing (Silver Zone, North Building/Foreman Pavilion), there is a bust of Montefiore. The nose on the bust is still a bright polished brass because many will rub the nose as they pass for luck. A branch of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania also bears his name.
A number of synagogues were named in honor of Sir Moses, including the 1913 Montifiore Institute, now preserved as the Little Synagogue on the Prairie, Moses Montefiore Congregation in Bloomington, Illinois, Moses Montefiore Anshe Emunah in Baltimore, Maryland and Temple Moses Montefiore in Marshall, Texas, the first Reform temple in East Texas.
The Montefiore Club was a private social and business association, catering to the Jewish community, located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
In Israel Montefiore is commemorated in several cities by streets named after him. He was also commemorated on the 1 Shekel banknote, which was legal tender from 1980-1986
