Temple Beth Israel (Template:Langx) is a Reform Jewish synagogue located at 801 West Michigan Avenue in Jackson, Michigan, in the United States.[1] Formed in 1862 by Jews of German background, it grew out of the Hebrew Benevolent Society, which had been organized in 1858, and was the second Reform congregation in Michigan.[2]

After meeting in downtown Jackson in two different buildings, the congregation moved to its current site, on Michigan Avenue, that was dedicated in 1949 and remodelled following a fire in 1971. The congregation's cemetery is the oldest Jewish cemetery in continuous use and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 2009.[3][4]

Dr. Jonathan V. Plaut, the son of the late rabbi Dr. W. Gunther Plaut, joined as rabbi in 2000 and served the congregation until his death in 2012.[5] In September 2011 Rabbi S. Robert Morais became Beth Israel's rabbi.
