Collection Overview

Biography / History
Founded in 1903, Temple Adath Israel (TAI) is Lexington, Kentucky's oldest Jewish congregation. Associated with the Union for Reform Judaism from its outset, the Temple incorporated with the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1904 as Adath Israel Congregation, with Samuel Goldenson as its first full-time rabbi. The Temple opened its first permanent location on Maryland Avenue in 1905 and remained there until 1926, when it relocated to its present address on Ashland Avenue.
TAI's commitment to worship, Torah study, social justice, and community is reflected in its longstanding engagement with education and civic outreach. The synagogue was expanded in 1950 to allow for a dedicated wing for the TAI Religious School, which focuses on teaching the history, practice, and language of the Jewish faith to toddlers, elementary students, and high schoolers. In 1983, the synagogue was renovated once more and the TAI Preschool program began, with a year-long curriculum for children that celebrates Jewish holidays and the weekly Shabbat.
Over one hundred years since its founding, Temple Adath Israel continues its tradition of active worship services, educational programs, and social action projects that support its congregation and the greater Lexington community.
Scope and Content
The Temple Adath Israel records (dated 1903-2016, undated; 20.85 cubic feet; 27 boxes, 2 items, 1 map folder) comprise administrative files and reports, Temple bulletins and yearbooks, service and sermon programs, and photographs that document the history and development of Lexington, Kentucky's oldest Jewish congregation.
The collection also includes scrapbooks and correspondence of Temple rabbis and presidents, newspaper clippings on Temple activities, architectural drawings for TAI renovations and expansions, and a time capsule that commemorates the Temple's 100th anniversary.
