Significance: Built in 1865-1866 for B'nai Yeshurun, this is one of the best-preserved Moorish Revival buildings of the 19th century. The rabbi at the time of construction was Dr. Isaac Mayer Wise (1819-1900), an important figure in American Judaism. Dr. Wise’s leadership made the City of Cincinnati a center for Reform Judaism in America.
