The Lodge Street Synagogue was dedicated on September 22, 1848 in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1840, a group of German Jewish immigrants in Cincinnati organized themselves into a separate congregation, breaking away from the existing congregation, K. K. Bene Israel. Their first place of worship was in a home on Third Street, between Sycamore and Broadway. The congregation voted in 1853 to engage Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise as its spiritual leader, this congregation built the Plum Street Temple beginning in 1865. Plum Street Temple was dedicated on Friday, August 24, 1866.
