Temple of Israel (Wilmington, North Carolina)

The Temple of Israel is a Reform Jewish synagogue located on the corner of Fourth and Market Streets in Wilmington, North Carolina, in the United States.

[3] By 1852, a Jewish Burial Society was formed in Wilmington with a Hebrew cemetery opening in 1855.

In 1872, a Reform congregation was started by German Jews and their synagogue, the Temple of Israel, was dedicated on May 12, 1876.

The Moorish architecture is unique in the city of Wilmington, but was common during late 19th century for many American synagogues.

The synagogue features horseshoe arches and twin towers topped with golden onion domes.
