Builder: Kilgen Organ Co, Opus 4211, 1923 (1928?) Replaced with an Allen Manuals: 2 Ranks: 17 Action: Electropneumatic -- Information from Harvey Gustafson, organist. Photographs courtesy of Laszlo Regos Photography. 6/2009 -- From Ed Copland: The former Temple Israel organ was the very first organ I ever worked on. The story goes that it was originally installed at a restaurant at the old Metropolitan Building (long gone). The organ was moved from Temple Israel to a home in Richfield in 1977, then the owner got married and they disposed of the organ. It was scrapped/parted out, but the harp is at Holy Cross Lutheran. I worked on it with Michael Rider around 1977. Karl Eilers was organist at Temple Israel before Harvey Gustafson. -- From Jayson Engquist: 2-manual Kilgen in two chambers (either side of the bimah stage) with console up in a choir/organ 2nd-story loft above the main floor. 12/30/2022 -- From a letter from Harold Holmgren, June 18, 1942, Holmgren discusses taking over service of this organ from Theo. Bender (who has serviced it for 20 years). Holmgren's contacts indicate that they don't believe the Rabbi [Rabi sic] will want to make the change. Holmgren asks the factory to write and strongly support him.
