B'nai Israel was the sixth Jewish congregation to be founded in Florida. Chartered in 1899, B'nai Israel met in the vestry room of Temple Beth El, then moved to the Odd Fellows Hall, which was a secret meeting place for the Ku Klux Klan. In 1923, the congregation moved to a synagogue that has since been demolished at 400 North

Barcelona Street. It moved to its current site on North 9th Avenue in 1954.
