:''For other synagogues called Beth El, see Temple Beth-El (disambiguation).'' Temple Beth-El is an historic Moorish Revival synagogue located at 208 South 15th Street in Corsicana, Texas. It became a Recorded Texas Historical Landmark in 1981. On February 3, 1987, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. ==History== The synagogue was built by a Reform Jewish congregation in 1898-1900. It is a wood frame building, with clapboard siding, keyhole windows in the front doors, and a pair of octagonal towers topped by onion domes. The Jewish community of Corsicana, established in 1871, dwindled in the late twentieth century, spurring the Navarro County Historical Society to take responsibility for the synagogue which, because of its unusual architecture, has been restored and is now in use as a community center.〔(Historical Marker - Temple Beth-El )〕 Julius Magil served as rabbi in the early days of its new building. He was born December 29, 1870, at Mitau, Courland, and secularly educated at Realgymnasium and University of Zürich, Switzerland. His religious training took place at the Talmudical College of Grobin, Courland. Magil then studied medicine at Fort Wayne Medical College and received a Ph.D. from Rogers College in 1898. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Temple Beth-El (Corsicana, Texas)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
