Temple Israel (West Bloomfield, Michigan)

Temple Israel is a Reform Jewish synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

The congregation was founded in 1941 in Detroit.[1] In 1949 the congregation erected an Art Deco temple designed by architect William Kapp. The original temple is now the Word of Power Church and is included in the National Register of Historic Places as part of Detroit's Palmer Park Apartment Building Historic District.

Temple Israel has since relocated in West Bloomfield.
