Temple Beth-El was a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue at 945 Fifth Avenue and 76th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, New York, United States.

[2] Kaufmann Kohler succeeded his father-in-law Einhorn as rabbi in 1879, serving there until he became president of Hebrew Union College in 1903.

[6] The Romanesque Revival building with Byzantine and Moorish influences, designed by Brunner & Tryon, was dedicated on September 18, 1891.

[1][7] Completed with Indiana limestone, and interior fittings using Mexican onyx, gold, Numidian marble, and a copper-domed roof, the land and building costs amounted to $700,000 in 1891 ($23.7 million in 2023).

[10][11] The congregation had barely used the synagogue since Yom Kippur in 1929, and was subsequently demolished in 1947.
