Congregation Temple Israel is a Reform synagogue in St. Louis, Missouri.[1][2]

The synagogue was founded in 1886, as 63 members broke away from Shaare Emeth Temple.[1][3][4][5]

Rabbi Solomon H. Sonneschein was its first rabbi. He was followed by Rabbi Leon Harrison, who was chosen out of 28 candidates and served as rabbi until he was killed by a subway train in New York City in 1928.[1][3][5][6][7]

A stone temple was completed in 1888.[8] The synagogue conducted its first gay wedding in 2008.[9]

In 1967, it had nearly 1,600 members, and in 2011 it had more than 1,000 member households.[1][3]
