The first synagogue building in Phoenix was the first Temple Beth Israel at 122 East Culver. I have found 2 dates of construction, 1920 and 1921. The facility functioned not only as a house of worship but as a community center and gathering place for the small Jewish population. The Culver Street synagogue was home to Temple Beth Israel from 1920-1949. It was recently purchased back from the baptist church it had become, and is undergoing renovation. It will serve as a Jewish Heritage Center, the Cutler Plotkin Jewish Heritage Center.
