Congregation Temple Israel is a Reform synagogue in Creve Coeur, Missouri. The synagogue was founded in 1886, as 63 members broke away from Shaare Emeth Temple.〔 Rabbi Solomon H. Sonneschein was its first rabbi. He was followed by Rabbi Leon Harrison, who was chosen out of 28 candidates and served as rabbi until he was killed by a subway train in New York City in 1928.〔〔〔 A stone temple was completed in 1888. The synagogue was involved in litigation against the City of Creve Coeur when the City changed its zoning rules to prohibit any churches, including the synagogue, just after the synagogue purchased land for a new building. The synagogue ultimately prevailed against the City when the Supreme Court of Missouri ruled that state law did not authorize municipalities to regulate the location of churches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=10654767209947956344&hl=en&as_sdt=6&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr )〕 The synagogue conducted its first wedding for a LGBT couple in 2008. In 1967, it had nearly 1,600 members, and in 2011 it had more than 1,000 member households.〔〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Congregation Temple Israel (Creve Coeur, Missouri)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
