Temple Israel is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 5105 North El Dorado Street, in Stockton, California, in the United States.

The congregation was founded during the California Gold Rush as a Jewish society called Rhyim Ahovim (transliterated from Hebrew as "Loving Friends") by tradition in 1849 but documentably no later than 1850.

[1] The first building, on Miner Avenue, between El Dorado and Hunter, was completed on August 28, 1855.

It was a simple, frame structure built on brick foundations of wood that had been shipped around the Horn, since no sawmill yet existed in Stockton.
