The congregation was organized in 1923; aHebrew school had been started the previous year.[1] The congregation'sByzantine Revival synagogue was built in 1927. An annex, designed by architectHarold Kaplan ofGreenville, Mississippi was completed in 1949–1950.[2]
The Temple was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places on December 12, 2002.
Plans for an organized Jewish community around Cleveland began in 1922, when three members of the community decided to create aHebrew school forBolivar County.[1] Working with a Rabbi out ofGreenville, Mississippi, they held classes in the Cleveland Consolidated School.[1] This developed into a desire for religious services for Jews within a 50-mile radius of Cleveland. Services were originally held in a local high school auditorium, with Rabbi Rabinowitz from Greenville coming up to lead services. Between 1926 and 1927, congregants raised money to build a synagogue. The Temple was dedicated on February 6, 1927.[1]
At one point, Adath Israel had one of the largesttemple youth groups in Mississippi.[3]
As of September 2023[update], Temple Adath Israel had a congregation of about 18–22 families.[1][4]
