Congregation Beth Israel (transliterated from the Hebrew as "House of Israel") is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 701 Farmington Avenue in West Hartford, Connecticut. Established in 1843, Beth Israel is one of the two oldest Jewish congregations in Connecticut and is one of the largest reform congregations in New England. Its membership includes about 650 families and about 2,000 individuals. The congregation's first synagogue building on Charter Oak Avenue in Hartford, commonly called the Charter Oak Temple, was completed in 1876. It was designed by George Keller in the Romanesque Revival style and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in November 1978.
