Shaare Emeth was the first Reform Jewish congregation established west of the Mississippi River. The congregation’s first Temple was located at 17th and Pine in 1869.  Then, as St. Louis grew and expanded westward, the Temple relocated in 1897 to Lindell and Vandeventer, in 1932 to the corner of Delmar and Trinity in University City, and in 1974 to our present location at the corner of Ladue and Ballas Roads in Creve Coeur.
