Temple Emanu-El is a Reform Jewish synagogue located at 8500 Hillcrest Road, in Dallas, Texas, in the United States.
The small but growing Jewish community sought a permanent religious structure as well as for a rabbi to conduct services and to offer religious education for children, so several families formed Congregation Emanu-El.
They elected David Goslin president; Philip Sanger vice president; Emanuel Tillman treasurer; H. Regensburger secretary; and Alexander Sanger, August Israelsky, and Henry Loeb trustees.
The next year they built a small red brick temple in the Byzantine style at Commerce and Church (now Field) streets in downtown Dallas.
Samuel Adler created many of the Temple's early musical offerings including their extensive volunteer adult and children's choirs.
