{{Orphan|date=August 2016}}Shaarie Torah is a Conservative Jewish congregation and synagogue in Portland, Oregon, United States. The congregation was founded in 1858, while Oregon was still a territory, and built its first synagogue in 1859.[1]

Architecture

Temple Beth Israel, a Reform Congregation at N.W. 19th and Flanders continues to serve the congregation. The congregation's first building was a modest, single story, pitched-roof, wood-framed, clapboard building with Gothic, pointed-arch windows and door.[2]

This early structure was replaced by an 1889 synagogue building, which was destroyed by fire in December 1923.[3][4] Designed by Portland architect Warren H. Williams, the building, called Moorish revival design in some sources,[5] is elsewhere described as a combination of eclectic and Gothic revival styles, with two towers topped by bulbous domes.[6] The Oregonian newspaper in 1923 described its style as "semi-Gothic and Mooresque".[3] It was located at S.W. 12th and Main streets in downtown Portland. Its two towers were {{convert|165|ft|m|abbr=on}} tall, and the main interior space measured {{convert|82|x|56|ft|m}}, and featured an arched ceiling 52 feet high.[3]

It was replaced in 1928 by a notable Neo-Byzantine synagogue building at N.W. 19th and Flanders that continues to serve the congregation. It was listed as Temple Beth Israel on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[7] It is considered one of the finest examples of Byzantine-style architecture on the west coast, and was inspired by the Alte Synagoge (Steelerstrasse Synagogue) in Essen, Germany.[8][9] The interior of Steelerstrasse, the first modern synagogue in Germany, was praised as Germany's most beautiful; it was destroyed during Kristallnacht.[9]
