Its 1867 building is one of the oldest synagogue buildings in the United States.[1] Deconsecrated as a synagogue in 1969, the most recent use of the building was as a Unitarian church.
History
The congregation, called Ahavas Achim Congregation, was formed on April 27, 1849, the second Jewish congregation organized in Indiana.[2][3] In 1874 it became a founding member of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations.[4] The congregation moved to its third and present location on Cumberland Avenue in West Lafayette.[4]
The Temple Israel building of 1866–1867, located at 17 South 7th Street, was renamed as Temple Israel in 1919. It is a two-story Rundbogenstil structure.[2][5] The building was dedicated by Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise.
Morris M. Feuerlicht was rabbi of Temple Israel from 1901 to 1904.[6]
The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[4][7][8]
In 1969 the building was sold to the American National Red Cross and was purchased in 1976 by the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Greater Lafayette.[9] The UU congregation vacated this location in October 2007.
