The Tifereth Israel Synagogue is a historic building in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was built by Alfred W. Woods in 1913 as an Orthodox synagogue, and designed in the Classical Revival style by architect Fred Young, Jr.[2] In the 1950s, it was repurposed as a community playhouse.[2] It was later used as an organ factory, and eventually remodeled into a residential apartment building.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 9, 1985.[1]

Congregation Tifereth Israel moved in 1954 to a new building at 3219 Sheridan Boulevard and is currently active as a Conservative congregation.
