Temple House of Israel is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 15 North Market Street, in Staunton, Virginia, in the United States.[3] Founded in 1876 by Major Alexander Hart,[4] it originally held services in members' homes, then moved to a building on Kalorama street in 1885, the year it joined the Union for Reform Judaism.[2]
In 1925 the congregation constructed its current building at 115 North Market Street,[2] a contributing property to the Gospel Hill historic district.[5] The Moorish Revival structure was designed by Sam Collins of T.J. Collins and son, and includes Mercer tiles, and windows and a glass screen by Charles Connick of Boston.[1]
As of 2019[update], Rabbi Randi Nagel served Temple House of Israel as rabbi.[6]
