Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim 

---

Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim Synagogue, built in 1840, is the country's second oldest synagogue and the oldest in continuous use. The congregation of Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim, meaning Holy Congregation House of God, was established in colonial Charleston in 1749, and is now the nation's fourth oldest Jewish community. The congregation is nationally significant, as it is the place where ideas resembling Reform Judaism were first evinced, and the Synagogue still serves the Reform Judaism community. A small museum contains artifacts relevant to the history of the congregation, such as a letter written to the congregation by George Washington. Notable features include a full Greek temple front, with fluted Doric columns supporting a gable pediment.
