Temple of Congregation B'nai Jeshurun

Temple of Congregation B'nai Jeshurun is a historic Reform synagogue in Lincoln, Nebraska. When it was built in 1923–1924, it replaced the old synagogue at 12th and D Streets completed in 1893.[2] The main structure was designed in the Byzantine Revival and Moorish Revival styles by Davis & Wilson, and Meyer G. Gaba, a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, designed the dome.[2] Inside, the arch was designed by wood-carver Keats Lorenz.[2] The first rabbi was Solomon Elihu Starrels.[2] The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since June 25, 1982.[1]
