Temple Beth Elohim is a Reform Jewish synagogue located at 230 Screven Street in Georgetown, South Carolina, in the United States.

Moses Cohen (1709–1762) their father, emigrated to colonial America with a small group of impoverished Portuguese Jews, with eldest son Abraham age ten, circa 1750 from London, England into Charleston.

[1] Abraham Cohen and a small number of (Sephardim) Portuguese Jews "worshipped in each other's homes and also at the Winyah Indigo Society" in Prince George's Parish (Georgetown District).

However, the grave marker for younger brother, Solomon Cohen Sr., can be found in Chatham County, Georgia at Laurel Grove Cemetery.

He became a lawyer and later moved his widowed mother, Bella Moses Cohen, and wife, Miriam Gratz Moses, to Savannah, Georgia, c. 1840, around the time of the so-called "Organ Controversy," involving the installation of a musical organ and music in Kahal Kodosh Beth Elohim, then an Orthodox synagogue in Charleston.
