Tephereth Israel Synagogue is a synagogue at 76 Winter Street in downtown New Britain, Connecticut. The congregation meets at a two-story brick temple with Colonial Revival and Renaissance features, designed by Hartford architect Adolf Feinberg and built in 1925. It is distinguished by towers flanking a central entry section, and the round-arch tops of windows and doorways.[2] Services are usually conducted every Saturday morning, led by Rabbi Robert Schectman.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
