King David Window

The King David stained-glass window is one of several splendid depictions of Jewish leadership in Temple Mishkan Israel.

No longer active on a regular basis, the temple membership observed Yom Kippur this weekend.

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
