Temple Emanu-El was a large Reform Jewish synagogue located on Fifth Avenue and 43rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States. Built in 1868, it was demolished in 1927.
In 1868, the Congregation Emanu-El of New York erected a new synagogue building for the first time, a Moorish Revival structure designed by Leopold Eidlitz, assisted by Henry Fernbach, at 43rd Street and 5th Avenue after raising about $650,000. It was demolished in 1927, and replaced by a 1930s synagogue, also called Temple Emanuel-El.[1] [2] [3]
