Temple Beth Sholom, Synagogue in Miami Beach, United States

Temple Beth Sholom is a Jewish synagogue in Miami Beach featuring modernist architecture with curved dome structures. The building provides spaces for religious ceremonies, offices, a youth center, and various meeting rooms for congregation members.

Beth Sholom Jewish Center held its first founders' meeting on April 6, 1942, and leased a building at 761 41st Street that June; Rabbi Samuel Machtai led the first High Holy Days services there for 20 families and Jewish soldiers. The congregation moved in 1953 into the Chase Avenue Hotel at 4141 Chase Avenue, converted for 700 worshippers. Percival Goodman designed the sanctuary and banquet hall in 1956, and a religious school and auditorium followed in 1961.

The name Beth Sholom transliterates the Hebrew for "House of Peace." Rabbi Leon Kronish, spiritual leader from 1944 to 1985, treated the temple as a Jewish community center as well as a house of worship; in 1967 it hosted Leonard Bernstein events. The congregation is listed on the Florida Jewish Heritage Trail.

The sanctuary and lobby were re-graded in 2000, with wheelchair-accessible ramps installed, so the main worship floor can be reached without steps. The 2011 addition of 20,393 square feet sits between existing structures and holds the youth center, welcome center and administrative offices. Enter from Chase Avenue; the campus occupies the block around 4144 Chase Avenue in Miami Beach.

The sanctuary lighting was conceived by Percival Goodman as "the stars above Abraham's tent": curving arches, some bearing Stars of David, pierce the dome and multicoloured glass fills geometric panels. In 2000 the sloped floor was re-graded, ramps added and the stained glass replaced with new art glass made with artist Laurie Gross.
