The Temple of Israel is a Reform Jewish synagogue located on the corner of Fourth and Market Streets in Wilmington, North Carolina, in the United States. [1] Built in 1876, the Temple of Israel is the oldest synagogue in North Carolina and one of the earliest Reform synagogues in the American South.
Originally Orthodox, the synagogue hired Rabbi Isaac Goodkovitz, who served until 1916. As more European Jews emigrated to the small, eastern North Carolina town, the congregation grew as well. By the mid-1920s more than 140 Jewish families lived in Kinston, a town with a population of only 8,000.
