The Actors' Temple, Neoclassical synagogue in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, US.
The building at 339 West 47th Street exhibits symmetrical design elements with grand columns reflecting traditional Neoclassical architecture standards of the 1920s.
First established in 1917 as the West Side Hebrew Relief Association, the synagogue moved to its current location in 1923 under Rabbi Bernard Birstein's leadership.
The synagogue attracted numerous performers including Sophie Tucker, Milton Berle, Al Jolson, Jack Benny, and Edward G. Robinson during its peak membership years.
The synagogue maintains regular Friday night services with 20-30 attendees and currently operates as a non-denominational institution under Rabbi Jill Hausman.
The temple addressed financial challenges by transforming parts of its space into dance rehearsal areas and a theater venue while maintaining religious services.
