Temple Beth-El was a Reform congregation and Romanesque synagogue located at Fifth Avenue and 76th Street in the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City.

History[]

The congregation was formed on March 27, 1874, with David Einhorn serving as the congregation's first rabbi.[1] The building, dedicated on September 18, 1891,[2] was subsequently demolished in 1947, after having barely been used since Yom Kippur in 1929. In 1927 the Temple Beth-El congregation had merged with Congregation Emanu-El.[3][4]
