Temple Beth Israel is a Reform synagogue located at 801 West Michigan Avenue in Jackson, Michigan. Formed in 1862 by Jews of German background, it grew out of the Hebrew Benevolent Society, which had been organized in 1858, and was the second Reform congregation in Michigan.

Dr. Jonathan V. Plaut, the son of the late rabbi Dr. W. Gunther Plaut, joined as rabbi in 2000 and served the congregation until his death in 2012.

In September 2011 Rabbi S. Robert Morais became Beth Israel's rabbi.-Wikipedia

The temple is associated with the NRHP listed Temple Beth Israel Cemetery which is located less than a half mile to the north.
