Established in 1840, K. K. B’nai Yeshurun, later to be known as the Plum Street Temple, was the forerunner to today’s Isaac M. Wise Temple. This grand synagogue was designed by prominent Cincinnati architect James Keys Wilson and erected for Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, the founder of American Reform Judaism. In 1972 the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
