Beth Israel Synagogue is a historic Jewish synagogue at 238 Columbia Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The synagogue was built in 1901 by Nathan Douglass. Congregation Anshai Sfard merged into it in 1957.[1] In 1962 Beth Israel and Temple Ashkenaz merged to form Temple Beth Shalom of Cambridge and the new congregation chose to use the Temple Ashkenaz building on Tremont Street in Cambridge.[2] The Beth Israel building, no longer used as a synagogue, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The former synagogue building currently houses condominium units.[3]
