Temple Shalom is a Reform Jewish synagogue located at 23 Bethany Pike, Wheeling, West Virginia, in the United States.
The congregation dates from 1849, with the current synagogue building completed in 1957, as the Woodside Temple.
[1] Temple Shalom is the result of the merger of several smaller congregations with Congregation L'Shem Shomayim (Hebrew, meaning "For the sake of Heaven") which was founded in 1849[a] by Jews who had immigrated from German-speaking Central European nations.
[1] Abba Hillel Silver served as its rabbi for two years (1915–1917), immediately after his graduation and ordination at the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati.
In 1986 Agudas Achim Congregation of nearby Bellaire, Ohio closed and its members join Temple Shalom.
