Temple Meir Chayim is a historic Jewish synagogue at 4th and Holly Streets in McGehee, Arkansas. The two story brick building was built in 1947 to serve the Jewish community of McGehee, Dermott, and Eudora. The building style is a restrained Romanesque Revival with Mission details. It was the first synagogue in southeastern Arkansas, even though there had been a Jewish presence in the area since the early 19th century.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
