[2] Rabbi Isaac Fall, who was Orthodox, led the community for 15 years in the late 19th century.

For more than 20 years, members from Temple Emanuel and Beth Israel discussed uniting as their numbers decreased.

In 2019, Beth Israel decided to sell their synagogue, the Tri-City Jewish Center, and approached Temple Emanuel with a proposal that the two congregations share space.

That same year, property was acquired on East Kimberly Road in Davenport, thatwas built in 1992 to house a restaurant, and then was used by a local realtor for offices.

Following acquisition, the building was renovated for religious purposes and named Beit Shalom Jewish Community.

Elements from the older synagogues are incorporated into the new space, including two Tree's of Life from both congregations, three ner tamids, oversized doors and Ten Commandments from Tri-City Jewish Center, and stained glass windows and the Torah ark from Temple Emanuel.

"[8] Members from both Temple Emanuel and Beth Israel walked from their former synagogues with their respective Torah scrolls to Beit Shalom on September 2, 2021.

[8] The former Temple Emanuel building was acquired by the YWCA of the Quad Cities in 2023 for their new Iowa Empowerment Center.
