Temple Jacob, officially the Congregation of Israel, is an historic Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 301 Front Street, in Hancock, in the Upper Peninsula region of Michigan, in the United States.
The congregation originated out of the copper boom in the Keweenaw Peninsula in the late 19th and early 20th century. The first Jewish synagogue in the Copper Country, it is also the oldest, continuously active Jewish house of worship in the Upper Peninsula and the only active synagogue in Michigan listed on the National Historic Register as a contributing property in the East Hancock Neighborhood Historic District.[1][2]
The synagogue is located near the north end of the lift bridge which connects the two towns of Houghton and Hancock. It was built on land purchased from the Quincy Mining Company and was dedicated in September 1912. The cornerstone inscribes the building in memory of Jacob, son of Israel Gartner, who was a generous contributor and fundraiser. He died shortly before the building was completed.[3]
