'''Temple Israel''' is a [[Reform Judaism|Reform]] [[Jewish]] congregation and [[synagogue]], located at 5105 North El Dorado Street, in [[Stockton, California|Stockton]], [[California]], in the United States. Established in 1850, it is one of the [[Oldest synagogues in the United States|oldest Jewish congregations in California]].
 
==History==
 
The congregation was founded during the goldrush[[California Gold Rush]] as a Jewish society called Ryhim''Rhyim Ahovim'' (Heb.[[transliterated]] from [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] as "Loving Friends") by tradition in 1849 but documentably no later than 1850. Other sources say that the congregation was founded in 1851.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wsjhistory.com/oldest_jewish_cemetery.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726054900/http://www.wsjhistory.com/oldest_jewish_cemetery.htm |archive-date=July 26, 2011 |title=The Oldest Jewish Cemetery in the West, Stockton, California |author=Schwartz, Mrs. David "Bea" Schwartz |year=1969 |accessdateaccess-date=2010March 8, 2022}}</ref>
 
The first building, on Miner Ave.Avenue, between El Dorado and Hunter, was completed on Aug.August 28, 1855. It was a simple, frame structure built on of brick foundationfoundations of wood that had been shipped around the Horn, since no sawmill yet existed in Stockton.<ref>{{cite news |title=No title |work=Occident and American Jewish Advocate, |location=Philadelphia, Feb.|date=February 1856 }}</ref> During the flood of 1861-262, the building flooded with two feet{{convert|2|ft|m}} of water, causing the congregation to move it to higher ground on Hunter Street.<ref>Ava{{cite Franbook |author=Kahn, ''Ava Fran |title=Jewish voices of the California gold rush: a documentary history, 1849-1880'', |publisher=[[Wayne State University Press]], |year=2002, p.|page=361 361.}}</ref>
