Temple Israel is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 3100 East Broad Street, in Columbus, Ohio, in the United States. Founded as the Orthodox Bene Jeshurun congregation in 1846,[4] the congregation is the oldest Jewish congregation in Columbus,[5] and a founding member of the Union for Reform Judaism.[6] Its first religious leader was Simon Lazarus, a clothing merchant who founded what would become Lazarus department stores.[7]
Differences between traditionalists and reformers led to a split in 1868, and re-merger in 1870, as the Reform B'nai Israel (later Temple Israel).[7] To accommodate growth, the congregation constructed buildings in 1870 and 1903–1904.[3]
Jerome Folkman started his tenure as the synagogue's longest-serving rabbi in 1947,[8] and the congregation moved to its current location in 1959,[3] a building designed by architect Percival Goodman.[2] The building was significantly renovated in the late 1990s.[3] Sharon Mars, appointed in 2017, is the first woman senior rabbi in the congregation's history.[1]
