Sherith Israel Temple, Orthodox synagogue in Cincinnati, United States
The building at 624 Ruth Lyons Lane features traditional synagogue architectural elements from the nineteenth century and stands as a testament to Jewish heritage.
Established in 1855 and completed in 1860, this structure holds the distinction of being the oldest existing synagogue building west of the Allegheny Mountains.
The congregation formed in response to reform movements, maintaining Orthodox Jewish traditions until its merger with Congregation Ahabeth Achim in 1906.
After serving various commercial purposes, including a warehouse and plumbing supply house, the building has been converted into residential condominiums since 2003.
This synagogue ranks as the seventh oldest synagogue structure in the United States, reflecting Cincinnati's early Jewish settlement patterns.
