Temple Emanuel is aReformJewishsynagogue located at 1120 Broadway inBeaumont,Texas, in the United States.
The congregation was founded in September 1895, and erected its first building in 1901. The eclectic wooden synagogue building with Gothic, classical, and Byzantine-inspired elements[1] was replaced by the congregation's current brick synagogue building in 1923,[2] designed by Albert S. Gottlieb in theByzantine Revival style,[3] complete with a cooper dome.
Particularly notable are the congregation's set of six windows, each 16 by 6 feet (4.9 m × 1.8 m), designed byZe'ev Raban. The windows were commissioned from Raban in 1922 by Rabbi Samuel Rosinger. Each window depicts an event in the life of one of the principal Hebrew prophets,Jeremiah,Elijah,Elisha,Ezekiel,Moses, andIsaiah.[4]
In 1971, Temple Emanuel merged with Congregation Kol Israel; and in 1985, Rodef Shalom, a synagogue inPort Arthur, merged into Temple Emanuel.[5]
