Temple B'Nai Israel
(Jewish Synagogue)

    

    

The original Jewish Synagogue was built on the same site that the present Temple B'Nai Israel stands.  It was built in 1872.  As the Jewish population grew steadily in Natchez from the 1840's until the turn of the century there was a need for a larger house of worship.  The present building was completed in 1905, replacing the original building.  It was built in the Beaux Arts style.
