Temple B'nai Jeshurun, Moorish Revival synagogue in Demopolis, Alabama.

Temple B'nai Jeshurun is a former synagogue at the corner of Main and Monroe streets in Demopolis, Alabama. The original 1893 wooden-frame building in Moorish Revival style, with a domed roof, was demolished after a smaller masonry temple was built inside its shell in 1958. The current building is that smaller masonry structure.

The B'nai Jeshurun congregation formed in 1858, the fourth oldest Jewish congregation in Alabama. Its wooden Moorish Revival temple, dedicated on November 30, 1893, stood at Main and Monroe streets. In 1958 a smaller masonry temple was built inside the shell of the 1893 building, which was then demolished. The congregation became inactive by the 1980s, and the deed passed to Trinity Episcopal Church for $10 in 1989.

The temple relied on lay leaders from the local community to conduct services, as there was no permanent rabbi on staff. Prominent citizens like Jacob Bley and Jerome Levy took on this responsibility.

The building can be viewed from the exterior and offers a clear view of the Moorish architecture and its downtown location. The area is walkable and centrally located in Demopolis.

The 1958 masonry sanctuary was erected inside the shell of the 1893 wooden-frame temple, which was then demolished, so the present building stands within the footprint of the old one. The congregation's deed went to Trinity Episcopal Church for US$10 in 1989, and the sanctuary artifacts were donated to the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in 2007.
