Congregation Beth Israel, a Reform Jewish synagogue located at 701 Farmington Avenue in West Hartford, Connecticut, was established in 1843 and ranks among Connecticut's two oldest Jewish congregations. The congregation's original building, the Charter Oak Temple, was completed in 1876 on Charter Oak Avenue in Hartford and designed by George Keller in the Romanesque Revival style; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The current structure exemplifies Byzantine Revival architecture and was designed by Charles R. Greco. With approximately 650 families and 2,000 individuals, Beth Israel is one of the largest Reform congregations in New England.
