Historic. Urban. Majestic. Extraordinary. Where you can’t help feeling the history, tradition and awe.

Constructed in 1866, Historic Plum Street Temple is the fountainhead of Reform Judaism in America and one of only two Byzantine-Moorish style temples in the country. Plum Street Temple is not, however, just a museum to the past; it is a living, dynamic sanctuary used for some Shabbat services, lifecycle events, programs and other religious functions.
