The Temple, Reform synagogue in Midtown, Atlanta, United States

The Temple is a Neoclassical synagogue at 1589 Peachtree Street NE in Midtown Atlanta, designed by Philip Trammell Shutze and completed in 1931. Its red-brick and light-stone facade has a pedimented portico with four flat columns and three red double doors under a fanlight. A white drum with tall windows supports a pale green dome.

Established in 1860 to serve German-Jewish immigrants, the Hebrew Benevolent Congregation is Atlanta's oldest Jewish congregation. It met at Garnett and Forsyth Streets from 1875 to 1902, then at South Pryor and Richardson Streets until 1929. Philip Trammell Shutze's Neoclassical building was completed in 1931 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 9, 1982.

The congregation, formally the Hebrew Benevolent Congregation, was founded in 1860 by German-Jewish immigrants and is Atlanta's oldest Jewish congregation. Its name, The Temple, is the common Reform usage for a synagogue. The building's 1958 bombing and Ralph McGill's Pulitzer-winning column made it a reference point in the city's civil rights history.

The building sits on Peachtree Street in Midtown and is easily visible from the street with nearby parking available. It is best to check ahead about visiting or attending services, as access may be limited to scheduled hours or specific events.

The 1958 bombing caused no injuries and, though arrests were made, no one was ever convicted. The organ also has a claim to notice: renovated by Aeolian-Skinner in 1955, it is one of twelve in the country carrying G. Donald Harrison's signature plate, dedicated on October 14, 1955 with Bloch's Sacred Service.
