Joseph Yushuvayev and Uri Mermelstein’s Top Rock Holdings and RJ Capital are in contract to buy the Forest Hills Jewish Center, not as a synagogue but as a tear-down development site. Public documents show the memorandum of contract was signed last year but filed this week with the city. That’s because the deposit was only just released after the New York state attorney general approved the sale of the religious space, at 106-06 Queens Boulevard.
