Temple of Congregation B'nai Jeshurun, also known as South Street Temple, is an historic Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 2061 South 20th Street, on the corner of Twentieth Street, in Lincoln, Nebraska, in the United States.

Founded in 1885,[2] When it was built in 1923–1924, it replaced the old synagogue at 12th and D Streets completed in 1893.[3] The main structure was designed in the Byzantine Revival and Moorish Revival styles by Davis & Wilson, and Meyer G. Gaba, a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, designed the dome.[3] Inside, the arch was designed by wood-carver Keats Lorenz.[3] The first rabbi was Solomon Elihu Starrels.[3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1982.[1]
