Temple Beth Elohim, Romanesque Revival synagogue in Georgetown, South Carolina
Temple Beth Elohim features a two-story brick structure with a central facade and symmetrical wings at 230 Screven Street in Georgetown.
The congregation established in 1904 traces its origins to the 1760s when Portuguese Jewish families, including the Cohen brothers, settled in Georgetown District.
The synagogue maintains Reform Jewish traditions through regular services, educational programs, and community events that strengthen local Jewish heritage and practices.
Current congregation members conduct lay-led services in the temple, which underwent renovations to preserve its structural integrity and functionality.
The associated Beth Elohim Cemetery, founded in 1772, predates the synagogue building by more than a century and represents early Jewish presence in South Carolina.
