Temple Adath Israel (transliterated from Hebrew as "Congregation of Israel"[2]: 138 ) is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 429 Daviess Street, in Owensboro, Kentucky, in the United States.
The congregation was formed in 1858.[2]: 152
Built in 1877,[2]: 138 the Moorish Revival façade of the modest building features a Gothic Revival-arched door flanked by a pair of Gothic-arched windows punctuated by four pilasters. These are surmounted with molded capitals and fanciful embellishments and the whole is topped by a whimsical row of four, small, onion domed turrets.[3][4]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1986.[5] It is among the oldest synagogue buildings in the United States.[6]
