Temple Israel, Moorish Revival synagogue in Minneapolis, US
Temple Israel is a house of prayer built in the Moorish Revival style, distinguished by geometric patterns, domed forms, and elaborate architectural details. The main building stands on Emerson Avenue South and was completed in the 1920s.
The congregation was founded in 1878 by German-speaking Jewish merchants, originally under the name Shaarai Tov. The building at its present location was constructed in 1914 and completed in 1928.
The name draws from Hebrew tradition and connects this community to the historical Israel, which holds deep meaning for its members. The spaces inside serve as gathering places for worship and community events that shape the rhythm of Jewish life in the city.
The location sits on Emerson Avenue South and is open for visitors interested in viewing the architecture or attending events. Online streams are available if you cannot visit in person.
In 2001, a woman became the senior rabbi of this congregation, marking a significant moment for the community at that time. This appointment was unprecedented for a congregation of this size in the country.
