Ohev Sholom Temple, now known as B'Nai Sholom Congregation, is a historic synagogue located at 949 10th Avenue, in Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia, in the United States.
Designed by the Charleston architectural firm of Meanor and Handloser in an eclectic, historicizing style that combined Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Byzantine features, it was built in 1925 for Congregation Ohev Shalom, which had formed in 1887. In 1978 B'Nai Sholom Congregation was formed by the merger of Ohev Shalom and B’nai Israel, an Orthodox synagogue which had been formed in 1910. On March 17, 1994, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. B'Nai Sholom continues today as an active congregation affiliated with both the Reform and Conservative streams of Judaism.[2][3][4]
